I check this site often:

http://www.jdmenginescorp.com/engines/mazda" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

They always have something that can be swapped into a MX-3, but the engines rarely up there for more than a week until someone gets them. They also almost always have the V6, which is why I'm considering going from 4 to 6.

I paid around $150 for mine from the local pick-n-pull. That included all accessories. It was a 50% off day tho.

Rookie's jk

since i'll be doing a B6de to BP swap i'll do a write up on just the engine and trans.. its a 94 mx-3 5spd.

and being that it has a engine management system TEC II we won't have to deal with the wiring harness ecu BS.

sorry guys can't do a full bp swap on a 94+ mx-3 using the OEM wiring but oh well

damn i love EMS..for that
