I found a nice 34K mile used motor at Veldmans auto parts in South Bend from one of the links provided here.

My nephew in law is the nephew of the owner of VAP and works in his family business Veldman's Auto repair. VAR will be putting in the motor for me after checking the compression, etc. (Another of his Uncles owns Tire rack.)

Its a handy family connection for a car nut like me.

I contested the autocross in Joliet at the route 66 speedway yesterday and then dropped the Miata off at VAR before coming back to Lafayette. They will put the new motor in for me this week.

I made it home before midnight (just) after leaving the house yesterday at 6 am.

Busy day.

I will have my favorite machinist rebuild my motor and will probably install it next winter my self....or may just keep it ready if the new one is good enough!
