• What are you looking to spend ?
  
  I have a recently rebuilt 1.6L short block with around 15000 KM (10000 miles) on it.It had new pistons,rings and bearings.It was swapped out for a TD motor.
  
  $500 plus shipping.
  
  I also have a bunch of core motors cheap.I may be able to find one that has a decent bottom end,but I'd have to open them up and see first.

• Is it still available?  If yes, how much (with shipping to WA state)?
  New member but forum watcher for some time.  Have a tired '89 Eco N/A and having hard time locating turbo parts to convert.  Really love the car, want to make it strong and on the road again.  Have noticed a lot of Canadian posts...are there still a lot of engines / turbo parts available?  If so my dream can become my wife's reality.  I love these little cars!!  They never should have stopped making them.
