I don't know if someone already posted this, but on PowerBlockTV they installed a MM engine and transmission on a Mazda truck. The eposides run from 2010-2012 so check out "Project Rolling Thunder" to find more episodes, cool stuff. In part 8, they replace the MM block with a supercharged cobra engine.

Here is are the links:

I have watched all the episodes about this build, it is going to be a monster when it is finally complete.

I have followed this build from the beginning as well. The junk yard Marauder engine they put in the truck first had either a rod or main bearing knock and they proceeded to run the hell out of it, since it was the first stage of the build, they didn't care.

What compression are they now running on the crate motor? I didn't have time to watch the entire episode.
