Engine Overview: Mazda B2200

The Mazda B2200 engine was a staple of Mazda’s compact pickup trucks. The cast iron block and aluminum cylinder head ensure that this inline-four-cylinder powerplant can withstand the rigors of light truck duty. The engine performs well for its class while maintaining its simplicity, featuring a single overhead camshaft (SOHC) design.

The timing chain setup adds to its longevity and low-maintenance appeal. The B2200 engine was first introduced to the US market with the 1986 Mazda B2200 pickup. It was carbureted up to 1987 until the fuel injection system was introduced into the engine in 1988. At Vaz Auto Solutions we have both the carbureted and fuel-injected Mazda B2200 engine variants for sale.

Important Note on Engine Displacement

The live product page header lists 2.0L, however the actual Mazda B2200 uses a 2.2 liter (2,184 cc) F2 engine. The “2200” in the B2200 model name refers directly to the approximate 2,200 cc displacement.

The 85 HP / 104 lb-ft specifications shown on the live page match the 1986-1987 carbureted F2 variant. The 1988-1993 EFI variant produces approximately 100 HP and 130 lb-ft of torque from the same 2.2L F2 block.

If your application requires verification of the exact variant, please call (240) 301-0095 with your B2200 year and we will confirm the correct engine match.
