My 93 is in for a new engine after the coolant seal let go. Ahhh!!!

Hopefully, I get it today, its getting a brand new engine (not a reman) and a new clutch.

And the car only has 39K miles on it.

But Ray Crowe is da man, he set me, and since I'm a local, he did a little better than usual.

Where exactly do you plan to get a "new" motor at? All engines, including those from mazda, are rebuilds with some used part content. It'd cost 4 or 5 grand to build a block from all new parts, even stock.

Ray has from time to time sold "new" engines. These are remans built from all new parts.
When I got mine years ago, it cost $4000 ver. $2000 for a reman.

If you were to build a motor new from parts purchased seperatly from a dealer it would probably cost more than 6K. E shafts, housings, rotors and seals add up quick.
