Well after a year of DMV BULLSHIT I finally have a clean title for this car. Let the building begin!
Got ahold of a 2000 short block. Some pistons and rods are on the near future list than machine shop. Glad to finally have a direction for this car. For a while there I thought I would have to just part it out.
I'm thinking.....EFR.....

So I decided to just build a piston/rod build a 2000 shortblock I have here an than I see on a local page a guy I know around here that has a 2004 Mazda speed has just got hit in the back and its totaled. Guess who bought the total.....this guy.
So now I have a 93K running mazdaspeed. Don't know much about these motors except they are non VVT on an 04?
So any benefits to building the 04 Mazdaspeed block or is the bottom end the same?
What head is it? 99-00?
Does it have setup for oil drainback and feed already?
To reroute or not to reroute?
Goals will be 300whp street car.

Not sure if he took anything off, but here is the FS thread for that red MSM on CR.

Not much in performance upgrades listed but a few extras that might be nice.

The MSM 6 speed is worth more than a normal 6 speed and the motor is basically a 99/00 but with a BP4W head and VTCS instead of VICS. The block has oil and coolant bungs for the turbo. The pan has a spot for an oil drain already and you can't beat the +5whp provided by the sexy oil cap. The red cam cover sucks for COP retrofits but the OEM half-COP setup isn't too bad for <15psi.
You have an embarrassment or riches going on - especially if you paid book for that wreck. I've done that and I generally feel like a dick charging anyone for a part off it considering it pretty much funded my whole build.
The damage on the red MSM doesn't look like a total. Can you post more pics?
