It would appear that my best choice for the money is a 86-87
FI engine from from an automatic RX7. Finding that combination has been
... an *interesting* excercise, so I'm trying to sort out
reasonable alternatives.
Thanks, Dale R. COZY #1254
Hi
Dale,
I have to agree that you
should probably skip the '85 12A engine that you're looking at. As you
mentioned, the best find would be a good 2nd gen with an automatic transmission,
but I wouldn't make that the only thing I looked for. Finding a good
engine is already enough of a challenge, without adding the condition of being a
rare (mercifully) automatic. The flex plate and counterweight are not all
that expensive, so I wouldn't pass up a good engine in a manual transmission
car.
Happy
hunting,
Rusty (things really ARE
different down under)
