but I just found a place that has three RX-7s -
a
pre-'86, an '87 and a post-'89. I can get the 87 engine (complete
with ECU,
he says) for $350 USD. I didn't ask a price for the newer
unit.
Is there anything in particular that would make
the post-'89 more useful
than the '87?

I would probably skip
the pre-86. The 87 is fine, as is the 89. The 89-91 had lighter
rotors, and higher compression, though it won't matter that much. The
bigger question would be whether either of these was a turbo engine. It
would also be nice to know why the cars were in the yard. For example, a
totaled rear end of the car would probably indicate that the engine was OK at
the time. A good body would probably mean the engine was toast.
Either way, you'd want to rebuild it, but it will likely be cheaper if the
engine was good when it was scrapped.
Give us more info, and
we can help you make a better decision. Good
luck.
