I'm looking for a NEW OEM 1.6L Miata engine to go into a 1992 Miata. SS told me mazdaspeed.com but that site reverts to japanparts.com and I can't find anything on engines....that site SUCKS. Anyone know where I can get a GOOD newly built 1.6L for the 1992? How about this place? They have one for $1122.33 for a long block. http://www.rpmmachine.com/enginetopmazda.html This is going on a daily driven car that is going to be BONE stock.
Are you sure he didn't mean mazmart.com? Mazmart is a local company that sells used Mazda parts, mostly RX8/Miata (you may already know this...). EDIT: I see that you want NEW. Is there something wrong with a rebuild? I would be shocked if someone was still manufacturing new versions of a 16 year old engine....you might have better luck with a 1.8...you would have to do a little bit of stuff for a swap, but not much....
It can be refurbed. We want to keep it simple as in I pull the 1.6L and drop a new one right back in. Nope SS texted me and it says mazdaspeed.com.
You might want to give R-Speed a call as well. They might be able to point you in the right direction...and, there is a shop in Alpahretta that builds/supports Spec Miata's, surely they know where to get engines. Sorry I can't remember the name right now though.
i got a complete refurbed long block from a place in gainsville for @950 out the door a few years back for my 91 miata. i can't remember the name of the place, but i will dig up the old paper work tomorrow.
I'm hoping we can get a complete longblock for under $2K. That's a crate motor or a fully rebuilt one. It's the 1.6L we need. Will any of the Miata 1.6L work? I've read of a long nose vs short nose but couldn't make out if that was the engine or the body they was talking about. I'm a Miata NOOB.
any 1.6 liter will work but you do want from 92-93...supposedly they fixed the "crank wobble" problem or whatever it was called. They both will fit and have no real performance difference though from what i know. (someone will probably prove me wrong in a minute.
