BTW T2 hoods were aluminum, not fiberglass like i stated earlier. (although the point doesnt really change, its still very lightweight)
And some t2's do have steel hoods, although it is very rare and mostly in seriers 4 (S4) fc's. This is because the car sold so well mazda came upon a shortage of aluminum, so they had to use steel.

So I am coming to the assumption that anything is possible as long as there is some pre planning involved. Thats what I was hoping to get from this thread and not a whole lot of flaming going on. Or maybe even a little help from you guys and gals on this board since we are all suppose to be true automobile enthusiasts. It is cool I learned a valuable lesson from all this. NEVER ASK FOR OPINIONS! Some of you did help me out so I just want to say thank you and hopefully the finished project will be at a meet real soon.  |
And no offense but I doubt there are any stock parts in that entire drivetrian (diff. included). It was made to support at most 135 bhp and 133 torque. I doubt it would be able to handle 4 times that amount of power.
