G'Day All,

Thought you might be interested in some pix of the new RX8 "long
bare" engines.  Just received a shipment.  Enjoy! 

Pix are of the 4 port auto engine.  Note that the RX8 engine comes
with a "aircraft installation friendly" waterpump already built into the
front cover. No longer any need to cut and weld!

The 4 port is a much better proposition for aero application (IMHO
anyway)  than the 6 port - Mazda rate them at nearly 200
Clydesdales  @ 7,500 RPM  IN THE CAR.  The 6 port is rated at
around 240 + BHP @ 8,500.  Only difference is the later port
closing timing of the 6 port.

By removing the cat converter and the mufflers should add another
30 - 40 - BHP.  Judicious inlet porting (there is plenty of meat (see
pix) to open up the inlets)  could add quite a few more.  (Better
than trying to make the 6 ports flow properly without the barrel
valves).

I curently have one RX-8 engine left for sale and expect to have
another shipment in  6 weeks.  Should anyone want one,  let me
know. FOB price is currently $9,551.20 AUD (plus approx $600
Airrfreight & Insureance - delivery within 7 days anywhere in the
world)

I also have some BRAND NEW  FD5 ('96 - 2000 RX7) REW 13B
turbo engines with auto conunterweight..  FOB Prices for these are
$7,300 AUD plus freight  etc. 

ALL these engines (both RX8 and FDs) are BRAND NEW factory
crated "bare long"engines.  (with sump but no manifolds or
ancillariies - RX8 engines have waterpump on front cover - see pix).

Cheers,

Leon
