Holy crap! Even if it's a '73, that's still a piece of vintige history!! Shoot, that would be a good setup for a small project car or something.

Yeah, but the guy has no history on Ebay and how do you really know that it is new? It seems odd that it has all that stuff already installed on it, making it look more like it was pulled from a used car. I don't know...

I was thinking the same thing. I always thought that crate motors were just the block without anything attached to it. That looks like it is ready to drop right in and go.

I had a crate motor put in my 83 back in 1998 when mazda still had them available.

The motor came with all the bolt ons already on it.....

Long Block has all the bolt ons......

Short Block is just a block and water pump......

Yah...Look at the rad hose attachment, and belt groove.
I dont know for how long or if they even would run an engine such as this initially at the factory, but all the signs are there that it has been run.
Either way it doesnt particularly look like its been run for very long. Id love to have an engine like this.

5 mil apex seals anyone? hahaha

mazda got sued in the 70's and basically had to replace all of the pre73 engines, that one there is a warranty replacement engine that never got used
