Wtb (s. Fl): 1.8 long block

[MX5RACER]

Year does not matter, condition does. I need a good 1.8 motor, anyone got one for sale?

I don't have a long block but I do have a short block available. Just picked it up. Unknown mileage is the down side. Make me an offer for it.

I have one, but we are states apart.......

What year is the short block from? So I can value it?

That one is a 97 block, 10th vin is V on the oil pan. I also have a head and block out of a 94, but when I pulled the drain bolt, only thing that came out was water. Cam and a few valves have rust but the head itself looks good. I don't know how bad it is inside the 94 block though. Still haven't got the automatic tranny off yet. The 94 block would be a core option to have rebuilt. That was the plan in the beginning. But money is tight for me right now and I rather get rid of it.

Make me a good offer and take the 94 block too. You can have the automatic transmission for free. I have a 94 intake manifold if your interested. it was modified so it doesn't use the support bracket.

Thanks, but I am looking for a good, drop in ready short block. Sorry.

you want to use the early 1.8 block if you are looking to build it. Only the early blocks and the Mazdaspeed block has a coolant port on the exhaust side of the block. This is key in order to bypass the heater lines to the mixing manifold. Remember, all 1.6, 94.-95.5 and Mazdaspeed block have it. The rest are junk!

I knew all of that thanks. That area is there on all blocks, just in '94-'95.5 (OB1) cars they are drilled and tapped. On the newer blocks there is flat area that can be drilled and tapped.

That is fine. No hard feelings. It just stuff I really don't need, until the MSM is paid off.

There is a part out going on at tampabaymiatas. A 10AE is being parted out that also has an extra head.

[MX5RACER]

I am not registered there, but thanks.
