Posting this for someone on the facebook group. Her name is Kim Edwards and she is selling her built 1.8. It says that they have receipts for it from a shop. follow this facebook link to post: https://m.facebook.com/groups/483782128336267?view=permalink&id=1266730676708071

 

Link no workie?

 

If you join the group miata parts for sale then it should work. In the meantime, here are screenshots including the person's phone # to contact:

 

Ummm. If that wasn't in SC, I'd be all over it. I wonder how much it would be to ship it.

OP, are you local to the seller?

Edit: What the hell. Just texted Matt.

 

Looks like the engine is in Mississippi.

Greyhound shipping may be a possibility?

 

Eh, op doesn't know the person at all. Someone local should get it. I'm reticent to do something like that.

 

I'm pretty close to it, its on my craigslist. https://memphis.craigslist.org/pts/6055773721.html

 

Head off means you cant test compression. I would be weary about the motor.

 

Yep. It's also too cheap. Wouldn't touch it

 

Head was pulled because someone wanfed wanted to buy just that and backed out.

 

i can always raise the price lol. Need it gone quick bc we are moving to Florida. I'm already in Tampa. Husband and motor/car are still in MS

 

come get it lol.

 

Will need to do pick up only. Too much hassle to ship that.

 

Thanks for posting for me. Yes all the receipts are included. Less than 500 miles on motor. Bought a v8 rx7 so selling my Miata and pulled the motor to sell separate to get more money. Just moved to Tampa, but my husband and motor/car are still in MS. Needing to sell it before he moves down here with me.

 

shipping seems like too much of a hassle so probably will do pick up only.

 

I'm from Tampa, and shoot, right now I'm in Tampa. That engine would be easier to sell here, than in Mississippi.

 

if it doesn't sell before matt comes down, that and the Miata will be coming with us. Lol. It sucks bc we will have 4 more cars to relocate here. Shoot me or matt a text if you know of anyone interested. His number is listed. Mine is 7274808295

 

These are some of the receipts. I have a file folder full of them for it.

 

A good place to post would be @ Redirecting...

Welcome to Tampa!

 

Was the DNJ oil pump considered an oem equivalent?

I'd been texting matt, but I guess it's a no go due to the shipping issue and not having numbers. He also didn't specify how the motor was broken in except that it was nice and easy for the 500 miles of use it has seen.
And from my understanding, it wasn't built by a shop etc, just a local person that does this. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just that it's hard to confirm work etc that way. If I was local and could check things out in a running car, I'd be all over this.
