Best rebuild

Lookin to rebuild my 88 se n/a, but don't have much money in my pocket. The sources i have right now are www.mazdarotaryengines.com, atkinsrotary.com, www.pineappleracing.com, and mazdatrix.com. The cheapest deal i've found is $1600 without shipping tax and all that *good* stuff. Do you guys know of anything better out there? This is my only running car left, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You can put together your own kit for much less than that if you reuse some of the seals/ parts that are still within spec...there is a 13b rebuild parts list in the archive I think... Some people have managed to put one together in the area of $5-600... Mine was like $800 with some new side seals...but in the end the rebuild cost me more than $1000 for little odds and end and tools I had to buy... So if you want the experience then it is well worth it to do the rebuild yourself but if you just want it to run then you might want to look at rotary resurrection.
