WTB: 99-00 longblock engine

I'm looking for a longblock for my 99 to replace the one which decided to "give it up catastophically" at Hallett last month. Anybody have anything?

TIA,
Keith

Thanks for the bump. No luck yet but still looking.

Of course the car is out of service during the best top-down driving/autocross weather of the year :(

Did you check with Gary? We have a few 99 motors w/o intakes.

Talked to him last week. It's an option but looking for something that's ready to drop in if possible.

Bueller? Bueller?..... Still looking ::Bawl::

David, I just missed out on your lead, when I emailed your friend, he had already sold the engine the previous weekend. DOH!!!

I did find a place online, S.R. Enterprises (Snader Racing, http://www.snaderracing.com/index.php) located in Sealy, Texas. They supposedly have a stockpile of Miata parts. I was thinking of giving them a call to see if they had anything. Anybody ever heard of them?

Hey Keifer, how much you looking to spend? I just did a complete rebuild and I may be willing to part out! Sad to get rid of my car but I got bigger and better plans

Bump. Have a strong possibility that I will decide on early in the morning (11/16), If anyone has a great condition, fairly low mileage 99-00 longblock for a decent price let me know ASAP...

Still haven't been able to see it. Didn't have a CR account so couldn't see the post. Signed up for an account this morning so now I can log in but apparently the moderator hasn't given me permissions yet (according to the message it gives me).

From the post....

I have a 99 engine I've been holding onto for the longest, and I'm feeling like it's time to let it go. Has around 100k on it, not sure where the valve cover, cam gears or crank pulley are.. There is a little surface rust on the top of the cam, nothing some WD40 and a little 1000 grit won't fix. Depending on where you're coming from I might be able to meet halfway etc. No I haven't cleaned it up at all, I don't have the time or resources these days. Located in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. PM for additional contact info.

An 03 isn't going to work in a 99 but that seems like a decent deal.

150k miles with no leak-down numbers? Bit of a risk. I think he just needs to rebuild his motor. It's more expensive but then you know what you got.

Besides, once you ship that used $800 motor you are even closer to rebuild price. The $800 motor might be a good deal locally especially if you had a NA and wanted the 99 intake and head but he already has these parts.

Thanks for the tip Doug. I should have updated my thread earlier. I'm currently going down the path of rebuilding my engine. Guess I can probably lock this thread up.

I'll lock it up, but would you start a rebuild thread soon? I might be heading down a similar path.
