Some of you may remember this thread- https://www.miataturbo.net/forum/t25670/

So I pulled the motor and had it rebuilt.

In went,
Eagle H beam rods
Weisco pistons
ARP mains
New Oil pump
water pump
All new seals (obviously)
new bearings
Stock lower mileage head
New larger FMIC
Anti Hyper/Peter pan coolant reroute
Cleaned and painted everything

Here are some pics....

Now all I need is my mirrors, valve cover back from Leatherface and my wheels from Savington.

The main engine parts and labor were somewhere on the + side of 2k. I lost track long ago. All the little bs stuff really adds up.
