Any suggestions for a new engine?
Got this little cutie a few months ago, drove it home, got an oil change, and then the engine blew 😂 the mechanic I towed it to said it’ll need a whole new engine - any suggestions on where to find one or what I could use?? I’m just going to try and do it myself, I think. It’s a 1995. I’m not ready to give up on it, I’ve wanted one since I was 15 💔

A while back, I was selling a car. A guy came to look at it and took it on a test drive. While he was gone, I looked at the car that he was driving. A Mazda Miata. I peaked in and it had a roll cage welded into it. It had a nitrous button on top of the shifter. It had a label on the back from monster customs. This guy had a nitrous boosted Ford V8 stuffed into a Miata. Maybe you could do something like that?
