Engine Cradle
Anyone know what a powerplant frame goes for, new and or used? I don't know if I am using the right name for it, but it what the engine sits on. A picture can be found (3rd pic down in this thread)?

is this the engine cradle or the powerplant frame? Or are they same thing, and what do they run used?

Yeah, it's the front subframe. Shouldn't be super hard to find one used from someone parting out a car.
New, it's probably gonna be mighty pricey.

Jesuscookies - just as an FYI, the Powerplant Frame (or PPF) rigidly attaches the tranny to the diff case. Kind of similar to an old-school torque arm. A subframe/cradle/crossmember/whatever can usually be found for just a few hundred dollars (as sonny mentioned).

Most people in the RX-7 community tend to call it a subframe due to the fact that the suspension also mounts to it. However, if you want to be technically accurate, the Mazda FSM refers to it as the Front Crossmember.
