VVT engine, 6-speed, FM clutch and more
 

I'm doing an engine swap, so everything must go! Pictures coming soon. All parts are in Carmel Valley, CA.

What would be ideal is someone who wants to do a swap into their 1.6 or something, lives close enough to come out here, and has some spare time to help me pull it. Such a person would get a sweet package deal. Everything is still in the car so that a would-be buyer can run it/drive it etc. Everyone else will have to wait until either the engine or transmission are sold and everything is pulled. Shipping is negotiable.

The car is a 2002 SE with 125k miles. It lived for 10-15k miles with a turbo, and overall has been well-taken care of. It's seen track time and long-distance commuting. The engine burns a little oil and should get a general service while it's out of the car. The pan is tapped for an oil drain line, and capped off.
The transmission is original from the car and has an almost-new shifter bushing kit installed.
I haven't examined the clutch (it's still in the car). It was used but basically new when I installed it in 2014 or 2015, and has about 15k miles on it. It should be in great shape still. If it comes out looking overly tired I'll update the price.
Other things may be added to this list depending on what goes along with the big-ticket items.

6 speed - sold
Engine, complete (intake, fuel parts, alternator, starter)
Engine, long block
Stock flywheel
FM clutch - $250
Driveshaft - $100
Exhaust - sold
Mazda competition motor mounts - $75
Wiring harness - $75

I'm interested in the clutch but shipping might be silly to Kentucky, 40217

It's probably doable. If it's not sold locally by the time it's out of the car I'll give you a quote.

I'm reasonable close and could possibly find some free time. What kind of package deal are you thinking?

Let me know when you want my lowballs on your Tranny...

Naw, I'm good. I accept highballs, balls of cash, or even medium-but-still-totally-fair-balls.

cmcgregor, I PMed you my number. Give me a call to discuss. Basically, anyone who wants to come help pull, and wants a collection of the items, will receive many a discount. A much smaller, but non-zero discount for just coming and helping pull.

Sweet wrinkle coat valve cover is a bonus.

Pmed about midpipe.

I wish you had been selling this at wrls so I wouldn't have bought that dead bp5a :cry:

It is a bit of a trek for you...

Current plan is to pull the drivetrain on Monday.

Nevermind, the interested party didn't show. Everything is still available. The engine has been drained of fluids and disconnected, but I could get it back connected up if the buyer wants to see it run. I also took a video of the buttery smoothness that is its cold startup.

Last-ish chance to see the motor run before it comes out, and to do a package deal as I've got interest in individual parts.

You pull any of it out yet?

Any issues with the clutch? Is it a street disk?

Thanks,
Bret

I haven't quite got to pulling it out yet. I'd planned to do it by now but haven't found the time. I'll post up pictures of everything when it comes out. The clutch is the stage 1 from FM, which is a street disk.

I've also dropped the prices of the big ticket items, and can still work a solid deal for someone who wants to come out and grab a bunch of stuff.

transmission and exhaust are sold. I'll give a couple more days for someone to take the whole engine, and then I'll start parting off the accessories like starter, alternator, mount brackets, cam angle sensor, intake manifold etc.

The clutch looks to have a lot of material left. Does anyone know how thick a new FM clutch disk is, and how thin it goes before it's replacement time?

Engine is sold

Clutch looks to have lots of life left. I'll ship for $280, or $250 picked up

Clutch is sold.
Just the motor mounts left for now.

How much did you sell your VVT motor for if you dont mind me asking? Im planning on selling mine.
