WTB: 99-00 longblock engine

[Keifersmith]

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

Any Luck finding one?? (aka Bump)

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.

He's on track junkies...message him and tell him david said he has a 99 motor :)

I think he's in Tyler so it's not TOOOO far :)

Thanks for the lead David, I'll definitely check with him.

Bueller? Bueller?..... Still looking

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

[Keifersmith]

FowlerMotorsports, I sent you a PM.

Thanks,
Keith

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.

Thanks sammm!!

Keifersmith and I were just discussing this, today.
