Red face sprung a leak

well my friend and i bought a 90 GXL for 400 bucks hey it started and body is in good shape, interior nice, engine ehhh not so sure, well it started but would try to overheat, so we knew it was going to be a task, and today when taking out the plugs my rear lead plug came out and water dumped out of the spark plug hole for a good 2 min. so looks like most likely there is a rotor housing needs to be replaced but i need to tear everything else down to be sure, so ive been looking all over online. what main sites do you guys go to, to actually buy internals, housings, irons, rotors, etc. not looking for performance yet or anything just need to get it rebuilt first. thank you in advance.

If you're going to rebuild it, might as well add a little performance to it if permittable.

atkins rotary, mazdatrix, racing beat to name a few good suppliers. sounds like you've got a corroded housing and a bad coolant seal. replace the housing and rebuild the rest.
