20b engine feedback on supplier
 
Has anyone done business with dealercast/Joe Drift/Joe Vick or have feedback on the company? I haven’t been able to find much except through eBay which is positive. They usually pop up with 20b engines for sale and shows the compression tests which each motor.

I got mine through Mazmart because I got tired of trying to vet everyone and getting nowhere.

Are you expecting to not have to rebuild the engine when you receive it or something?

if only. I expect to disassemble and build balance and upgrade.

wow that’s really good pricing. Is there a backlog to wait as I see d and c engines there and so they usually have good harnesses and compression checks done?

I am am picking up a c for around 7400 including shipping.

That's not a bad price. I'm sure they'll check out whatever you'd like if you ask.Their builder Rick Engman builds a lot of the mazda race car engines including the kudzu 4 rotor engines. They can be more expensive sometimes, but they're reliable.

Damn I can't believe how much these engines are going for these days. I paid $3,500 for my D133 back in 2003 (before the 20b crazy hit). I'll tell ya, supply and demand is a MOFO.

My first one was $2900 I think...

Another way to do it is to just buy the FD with the 20B already in the engine bay :)
