Trucks Building a Marauder Powered Mazda Truck

[ViiiKiller]

Is anybody following along on Spike's Power Block and watching the Trucks guys building the Mazda B2200 with the Marauder 4.6 DOHC? They've already got the engine installed with custom mounts and the transmission X member was moved a few inches back by elongating the factory mounting holes. This build is so exciting, I can't wait to see the finished project!! Those guys on the Power Block are so highly skilled and they all seem to know how to weld, paint and wrench.

looks more like a mark8 gen 2 motor. the throttle body is on the other side on a marauder. my son has one so i looked!

Chestnut, thats what I thought when I first watched it, that it was a gen ii mark viii engine but Kevin Tetz the host said it was a Marauder engine. So, maybe the host is wrong?

It's a mysteeeeeerious Mark VIII engine.

Maybe it was an accident at the factory. Somehow the Maruader had a M8 engine put into it on accident?

As in BMW M8?
