LoL thanks for the kind words from RotaryEvolotion, engines are sold as short blocks long blocks and complete with everything that came out of the car at that time, and just maybe he would have like to get a spear one!
But maybe one cannot think to that capacity!!!!!

I think you need to buy mine Carlo. Of course it comes with the entire car so that will drive up the price a bit

Since japan2la went MIA with a bunch of money from fellow RX7 members, it's been a tough go finding 20Bs. Theorie found one from a guy in South Florida so you might want to contact him.

That's Drag International of Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

He had (2) A codes, (2) C codes, and (2) D codes from one container shipment.

I bought a D-code from him. Last I heard, he only had the (2) A-code motors left. I heard he might also have a 20B Mazda-reman.

Here's their facebook page with contact info:

I may be willing to sell my entire engine setup, which is pretty much best of the best, make me an offer:

Well I bought one from him...as I stated above...

I compression tested it on-the-spot with an analog gauge and a battery connected to the starter. I only tested the one I bought, and it had great compression on all rotors.

So yes, the company seems pretty legit in my opinion.
