    Picked up a Miata that's lost all compression, looking for a good used motor to go in it, possibly header, lightened flywheel, any other goodies you might have laying around. I'm hoping to trade my '87 RX-7 Turbo TII, not running, if anyone is interested, kind of broke at the moment.

    ouch

    lol I am in Wisconsin, and have many 1.6 engines for sale, and a 1.8 or 2 as well. But I think the Geography isnt going to make that a viable but for you.

    We are on the cheap end for Engines too ;)

    Yep, I've got a cheap one sourced locally, but hoping to kill two birds with one stone - get rid of a car & get one running

    Are you seriously looking for a straight trade--1.6 for a non-running Turbo FC? I have a spare 1.6 that could work for you--could you forward pix of the RX7? Also, how quickly are you looking to make this happen, as I'm in Ohio, and would have to arrange some time to get southbound. . .

    I'm looking for some boot, either in the way of parts or $$, here is the listing for the FC http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/2008-classifieds/v8-rx-7-wnitrous-race-rubb... I've found an alternator, now I'm looking for an engine, header, lightened flywheel, SCCA legal rollbar, 15x7+ wheels, good convertible top on frame, tokico illuminas, some good springs, a pair of doors with good glass & sideview mirrors, or some 16x8+ wheels for the TII. Any part or combination thereof works for me. I'm not in any great hurry, would like it soon enough that I can get the car going for the April TT event at Talladega Grand Prix, but I'm flexible.
