Pardon me if something has already been posted that would answer my question. Once again please bear with me as I try to explain what I am thinking.OK? This matter somewhat criss crosses into a couple of different forums. Two come to mind right now (Mitsubishi/Satoh and IH) and could be others that would bleed over.
Here goes....
My satoh Bison and my Mitsubishi Satoh S650G are both equipped with the PB Mazda engine. Two different versions were available (depending on the year it was produced). One being the Mazda PB (987 cc /60.2cu.in.) and the other one being a Mazda TA/TB that was 1169 cc./about 70 cu.in.
Several times through these different posts/threads I will read about a reference to the 71-73 Ford Courier part as to being the same or being able to use it as a more ready available substitute part, replacement etc.
I admit that at times my "searchin" talent is not too finely honed and comes up somewhat short of expectations. Sometimes life is that way too, I guess.
Moving on here now, my research shows me that the early(1971-76) was equipped with an 1800 cc /109110 cu.in. produced by Toyo Kogyo Co., LTD which I guess turned out to be Mazda. It was more powerful (74 hp) and a somewhat different design (OHC).
So my question is... Does any body know or has anyone compiled a list of what parts will swap from the Ford to the Mazda or vice versa? Obviosly some parts like the cylinder head, block and so on probably wouldnt. Also will the 1800 Mazda ford courier engine bolt into the Satoh Bison (bell housing/flywheel/ clutch/driveline/etc. ?
Thanks for lending your ear TBN.
