WTB: cheap engine. busted ok.
Want to buy a cheap miata engine for a science experiment. It's ok if it's busted/hole in block/whatever but ideally i'll be in a semi running condition without pieces of shrapnel in the oil passenges. Preferably 1.8 with an intake manifold too but I'll consider anything if it's cheap. And of course "local" (say ~200 miles) prefered so i can pick it up. I'm located in central NJ.
Thanks fellas.

I thought I already asked Bruce, but I'll try again.
I want to make a fuel economy experiment. 2cyl with the old spare GT1544 I have in my attic. I should be able to get ~120rwhp with 800-900cc (half of the 240rwhp/14psi that the original twins made) and nice fuel economy. I have a guy here that should be able to balance the crank with 2 missing pistons/rods and I can grind off the cam lobes that aren't used. Worth a shot if it's 'free'-ish.
