WTB: New or used short block in running condition

[Blue_MS3]

As the title says I am looking for a new or used short block as my car recently blew up and after many hours of fighting with Mazda I have been told to bite the big one. I scrapped together some funds and have cash in hand, can pay for shipping, but would pick it up even if it is a few hours away from upstate NY. Please let me know if you have anything or any leads on anything. Your help is appreciated.

Are you looking for a forged block because I know he sells forged blocks not sure about a spare used block though.

Like I said, he has hookups for stock blocks too...

Ken contacted me and I will probably get a motor from him. I am looking for a stock block/engine so I can drop it in, and trade the god forsaken thing in on something else. If the engine blows in 20,000 miles I have no faith for long term reliability and don't want to spend 7,000 dollars (guess) on aftermarket parts on top of the 20,000+ I paid for the car 2 years ago. If I wanted a 30,000 dollar car I would have spend 30,000 dollars.

Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it.

What mods did you have on the engine?

 

[Blue_MS3]

I had a corksport downpipe, a PG intake and inlet, and an accessport.
