The local wrecking and salvage have 2 rx7's one is an 83 and not sure about the other. They want 100.00 for the motors (each), would i be wasting my time to get 1 rebuilt. I'm thinking i would always have 2 motors, wondering if this would be a wast of time and money. just 12a's screeming for help dont know how long they have been sitting. i didnt even think about the carbs.


what do you guys think. thanks alot for your help.

See if they'' sell the whole car for a good price, but its not hard to find these cars out there, so if it hasn't got the LSD disc rear end I wouldn't pay much over the $100.

Then part them out yourself and keep what you want. The engine alone is somewhat risky in that you dont know the condition of the housings, etc.

 

They will take the motor out and i could get a very good look. but i could part the car out and get what i want in the long run too. i didn't think of that.

 

look for good compresion i think its a size 21 mm on the crank take off the header turn the engine over and over if you hear a sound some wat like fuuuuu shiiiiiiii fuuuuu shiiiii you might have a good engine no sound is a bad sign my homeboy just got a 13b gslse engine out the junk yard and runs great also my other homboy pulled one out a 12a that runs cherry idles perfect starts up at a drop of a dime as a mater of fact its the fastest one of our engine to start up my only advise is to look for compresion
