1987 Mazda RX7
----------------------------------------------------------------
i recently aquired an rx7 really cheap and i have been told that the motor is no good (cranks fast, wont start). i have heard that there are reliability issues with these motors, so i was wondering if there are any mazda 4 cyls. that would readily bolt to the transmission (say out of a miata, 626, etc.)?

Hi there,

These engines are normally very sound & reliable, as for a different transplant i don't think you can, i would be going for an original second hand or re-co engine,and no modification hassles.
