Bought it from a junkyard so that was probably my first mistake... But seriously there are aren't many of these things to be found around here... It's slim picking. Luckily I put this thing on a credit card so I could dispute the charge if it ever came to that....
It just sucks that I'm back to square 1 now... Time to start searching again |

No, but I just heard about this place near Harrisburg and I in no way can vouch for him since I've not made it there yet, but it's worth a shot to call this guy and see what he will ask. Since it's just a side business maybe he'd be reasonable on pricing. Miata Barn

man, I got SO many engines/blocks/heads I could sell you, but..........you're 5 billion miles away.
I mean we sell MINT vvt long blocks, with all the accessories, for barely more than what you paid for that hunk of crap. I'm talking so clean it looks like it just rolled off the assembly line. Drive down to CA and I'll hook you up :D |

If you can get a pallet shipped to you at work, shipping a motor from CA to NJ should only be $200-$400.

what really only matters is the condition inside the motor, but that TB/IM doesn't show promise.

And yeah Planet Miata isn't far but I have to drive out there and they want $850 for a motor iirc I think in this case, the extra $150 would be worth it over the pile of fuck you have now, yes? Just to keep things relative. :giggle: |
They are sending me another one that will be here Weds..... Round 2!

maybe this time they send you one they didn't find on the bottom of a lake...

He was arguing with me saying "Oh the water in there was from powerwashing the motor before we ship them out... the water is clear right" I replied.. The water is brown and nasty looking in there, I dont care what f'ing color the water is, I'm not using a motor with water in it. Aside from shoving the power washer nozzle up the throttle body, there is no f'ing way that this much water ended up in the motor from power washing it... Please send me a motor with no water |
