Default 1.6 parts source ideas.

So, I am having a hard time finding a 1.6 big nose crank, or long nose crank. I have all the parts to do either in this car (not a Miata, a 323 GTX), but I just can't seem to find one, and I'm meh on throwing in one of the 8 other 1.6 SNCs I have. Any ideas where to check?

And, on that note, any idea where to source a Mazdaspeed rear diff for the 6" ring gear? If all else fails I'll buy a Kaaz or Cusco through my Turn 14 account, but I'd love to spend less money.

I'm not swapping to a 1.8 or 7" diff, as it becomes quite involved in a GTX, and I'm just not motivated to make those changes.

Thanks!

These cranks are very easy to find in Europe, since the 1.6 ran all the way to 2005.
Maybe you can hit up the UK trader on this forum.
I always shop for small bits at autolink in the UK. I see they sell cranks for 100£ and complete 1.6 short blocks for 200£.

Ask around on facebook and the local miata groups? There are motors out there. What area are you in?
