I have an '85 Mazda 323 1.6L. Need to know if it's the same block for an early 90's miata. Want to build it to put in a miata if it is the same.
 
same block, and rods, IIRC, but the 323 has lower compression pistons. As cheap and abundant as they are, I'd just pick up a 1.6 or a 1.8 that originally was in a miata and build that.
