Well considering good ones cost 5-7k ( way to much in my opinion) A blown one should cost 1500-2000 I guess. If this is the case then it would be way cheaper to buy a blown one and rebuild the engine.

You would want an 88 'vert then. It is the lightest of the 'verts and easiest to convert to a t2 driveline.

The electronics in the 88 'vert are also already almost T2 electronics, with the N338 'vert ECU already able to control a T2 engine and even simple things like the 88 'verts have the same knockdown fuel pump voltage relay that the T2s have.

$1500 for an average car, and I would pay as much as $3000 for a very nice one. Remember, a new top is worth a grand and a good paitjob (NOT Maico) will run you $1500.....

I paid $1500 for mine w/ 200k miles and a working motor. It smokes, it's a beater, but it's mine. :-)
Actually I would put it in fair condition -- needs some body work and the usual wiper switch didn't work, but other than that I've enjoyed it immensely in the 6mo I've owned it! For a blown motor, you should be able to pay less unless the body is in great condition.

Oh, and if you are doing an engine, do the V-8 conversion from grannyspeedshop. It costs about the same as a TII conversion with a rebuild but you get 350 HP and 400 ft-lbs of torque. You will LOVE yourself for doing it...

People have done 13BT swaps for less than $600 into those cars when selling the old working parts is considered.
The cheapest I have heard of a V8 swap has been over $2500.
But lets not make this another lame V8 into an RX-7 thread.
