wtb: tired 1.6 big nose engine

[SirHustlerEsq]

I'm strongly considering a 1.6 turbo build (since I can't find a 1.8 swapper) and would like to see how hard it is to find an old 1.6...and I'll buy one if the price is right.

I'd like to get something slightly injured, so I can either hone it or punch it out 1.5mm at most if necessary and run forged pistons, and possibly stronger rods. I'm in OKC at the moment, and Lewisville on weekends.

Check Planet Miata, they have short blocks for around $300, heads, and such. Might be able to find your rear end parts as well.

I'm trying do something cheaper on the engine since I need either something with low mileage or something to get reuilt.

I know I'm screwed on the rear end.

I'm pulling one out of my 93.
Runs strong, but smokes due to valve seals.
Whats your time line?
What rearend parts?

well I'm looking for a 7" rear swap. I'll run a rx7 ring and pinion with the clutched lsd if I can't find a torsen.

If don't know if you're a good candidate though because I'm looking for something with low compression for price considerations...unless your price is right.

My timeline is unknown, but I have cash in hand if we can establish a deal good for both of us.

Ill know more next week or so.
