why is randy selling his motor? last i spoke with him he was babbling about some sort of super lame 1.5L fuel sipping motor, but I assumed it would not be for his race car.

Well he's doing some mod work to the Italia front... whatever that means. 
The only thing more expensive than building power in a four banger on the street is having to do it per a set of sanctioning body rules.
I had a BP that made 155rwp/140ftlbs of torque with a stock bottom end, no porting/polishing or any kind of massaging to the OE cast pieces. It was done with the stock 99 pistons, deck on the block/head to get near 10.5:1 static compression, ecu and bunch of expensive spec valve train parts. We had high dollar JE pistons and after one race when a Miata stomped the factory civics they outlawed them.
