I was under the impression that an oringed block was not compatible with a steel hg, but that price so far is great.

it's got probably at least a $2500 reserve

Still an outstanding deal at $2500. I've almost got that much in my cylinder head alone.

I doubt it can fetch more than 1200$ I wonder if he is selling a 6 speed thoug hmm. Also all that work and no solid lifter conversion or uprated springs or cams wtf.

Head parts add up fast, ask me how I know.

True but from what i read he kept it stock with just new bearings.

I know, you must not have read into what I said. The cost is why most, almost all, people stay away.

Eactly what is a SHORT/LONG BLOCK? :confused:
I've heard of one or the other, but never heard of both in the same sale?????

it should actually say "Short Block Long Nose crank.

You see this done on eBay quite often, a seller uses as many “Key Words” as possible in the listing. This way if some one is searching for a long block, they will find his listing, or if some one is searching for a short block they will find his listing.

But, wouldn't "1.6 Miata engine block" enable the same results - Opens up a wider seach result - Regardless of the long block or short block addition?
