99 Short Block with 120K miles $100
 

Engine came out of a 99 Miata with 120k miles on it. It overheated due to a failed thermostat. The engine ran, but had very low compression. It did not consume coolant. I will separate the head and block is for sale for $100. It comes with block,oil pan,pistons,and crankshaft.

what about the head? i'm looking for the head. really, i'm just looking for the camshafts and cam cover, and could care less about the rest of the head.

Well I was going to put the head up on ebay after I take the head to the machine shop to have it look at.

Unless you want to just snatch the head off my hands for $315 shipped right now. Paypal to "supra441979@hotmail.com"

head still available? ill take it!!!!!!

all you bro. i'm not willing to gamble that much when a known good one can be had for 400

That's why I said I was going to take it to machine shop and have them check it out then sell it on ebay.

block interest if you're close enough to DC.

PS some-mod bust his balls about putting a location somewhere :)

he's in Raleigh, NC

thanks ben!

OH SNAPS that's pretty close. can i get some dibs? i'm on vacation posting from my phone. back sunday late.

y8s you got first dibs

Yeah makes sense. I'll give you $250 for it, as is, right now.
And if not, that's cool too.

B

so how much for the whole thing?

I'm in Charlotte.

back from vacation! I'll probably need it shipped or at least held til I can pick it up (??) or some other arrangement.

someone help me out here: the 99 had a thurst bearing issue but this wont matter after a rebuild, right?

yes, when you rebuild you (or your assembler) will use a correct bearing. I believe that there is also a way to shim the original bearing (which can be done with the motor in car by dropping the subframe and oil pan) for motors that aren't getting pulled and built.

awesome. supra you can email me and we can work out the deets.

bumpity bump. what's the story on this motor? are you afk or somethin?

yo you got dibs on it. I'm just in the process or swap out the motor and transfering all these damn turbo stuff. It's probably going to be this weekend before I get to the motor, but I will try to do it before that.

cool. i'm in no hurry but since we hadn't finalized the deal I thought I'd pester you. pester pester.

PS anyone know how to ship a block the easy way?
