NA or turbo?

You may have some good luck finding someone on here with one for pretty cheap if its na. Most spare turbo engines are blown though.

Id take this deal for $300 , if not I know it sounds stupid but you can find some good nonturbo rx7 engines at the junkyards from idiots that junked there rx7 thinking the engine was blown when it was only flooded (dumasses).

Ive known 2 people who have got rx7s from the junkyard that they think had rebuilt/remanufactured engines, the junkyard thought it was blown when it was only flooded...real smart huh ? These were both series 4 nonturbo engines.

I bought the motor to get rebuilt but never got around to it, now moving to Cali taking my car but not the engine. Its stripped down to core for rebuild(have transmission with it), have all the parts for it. I dont have time to deal with shipping anywhere, so it would be local p/u only or junkyard!! 2 weeks im outta here.
