i have replied to all outstanding PM's as of 3:49pm EDT.

yup saw it.. lazzer's maybe hookin me up with a backup plan.

in the interest of not having anyone hate me, i'll give lazzer the day to buy it now, and then it's up for grabs, first come first serve. ;)

he gets first dibs cuz he claimed it first.. i'll take second dibs if he doesn't buy it.

I think Lazzer needs it most. Y8s at least has a VVT car. I don't need it, and really can't use it, at all...

Havent been on much
 

This weekend, puter probs & all, but I would also like that head if it falls through. can paypal +3% asap. just LMK. Jim

Sold! Thanks Sean!

baaaaaaaastard! now PM me that other lead.

Short block is now up for sale, as I have no where to store the bastard, and I'll be damned if I'm going to carry it down my steps to the basement.

Any reasonable offer will be entertained.

dibs... Price? =)

ASS HOLLLLLLE hahaha

as always, second dibs.

Third, and Ill come pick it up.

I will throw a price out here, and you guys can beat me down on it.. because I'm not real sure.. I'm thinking $300 + s/h if i have to ship it.

Considering it was overheated that might be a touch high? I was thinking in the $250 range shipped. Anyone else can pay more if they'd like.

Dunno. I don't know if UPS is even an option, as they don't do anything over 150lbs if it's not freight.

I'd take $250 picked up.

a short block, I think, is under UPS limit. complete engine is over.

k. i can try and weigh it tomm. i still can't believe the head was 78 lbs.

it was 87lbs in a box with all the packing materials and a whole roll of packing tape..

Bottom ends seem to be a dime a dozen, it's the top ends that cost so damn much. If it's cheap enough it could justify shipping but if you have a local buyer I'm sure your better off. Just let me know. Also does anyone know more about the main bearing support plate and what year it was that Mazda stiffened it in the Miatas?

MBSP stiffened? it didn't exist in the miata prior to 01 I dont think.

There's some sort of plate in a '97 I know that much.

Of all the things that could go wrong... UPS damaged the box the head was in during shipment. Motherfu#*@#$. -sigh- Hopefully they let me come inspect it tomorrow to see if the head was actually damaged. More engine delays...
