Running junkyard motor?
« on: March 10, 2016, 04:06:08 AM »
Anyone know a good place between Port Huron and sterling heights to look for a low miles 6 port rx8 motor? Really miss driving my car and don't know when I'll have the time and extra  $1400 to rebuild it the way I want. Just looking for a beater motor to buy me a few months till I'm not working 6 days a week and moving in to a new house.

Sounds like a good plan. A stock junkyard engine could last a long time.

I would be happy if I can find one that will last through the summer and part of the fall. I don't plan on driving the car in the winter so it will hopefully give me the time to do two motors so I can keep a spare on a pallet just in case.

Sounds like a great plan.  Not sure of places that have one off hand.

An RX-7 is like having a slut as a gf! She will love you, but she will also screw around with the guy at the parts store, most of the local cops, your insurance agent, your apex seals, your bank account and your credit card!!!
