Like title says, Looking for a used bottom end in good shape.
ring end gap should be under .017

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.
