xp882,
it run?
Yes, it runs fine. Starts up every time. Oil injection works. Running original carb with a ton of plugged vacuum lines.


its a turbo motor?
No, I ordered a Jspec TII to put in there instead. Problem is I got into the used motor I was sent and found no compression on the front rotor and lots of rust inside. Doesn't look good so for now I still need my existing motor. The dealer that sold me the engine is working on getting another or sending a refund. I haven't heard yet what he's come up with.

The motor is the original 4 port 13B. It was supposed to be street ported. Also have header for REPU installed that I won't need. The 4 sp. trans is from an early Rx7 I was told.
From what I can tell I will need the front cover and oil pan off this 13B to put on the new engine. If you already have a 13B in your truck then you need only move yours over.


how much?
I plan to sell it cheap. Once i have the new motor in hand (a good one) I won't have much use for it and would only want to recover some of the costs from the swap. I don't even know what they are going for but somebody that wants to come by and pick it up would surely save shipping and I would discount it for the convienence of not having to package it. Any idea what this is worth? Ebay looks like a few hundred for a running 13b non turbo with trans.

no it's not hard to find a 4 port motor, try building your own, all the part are out there and most easy to come by, start with a 12a and then find a frist year fuel injected 13b, got one in my RX4 twin turbo

Don't forget the GSL-SE (or older) rotor housings.

Hi I have a 74 13b sealed in bees wax and ready to assemble. I believe everything is there except apex seals. If your interested I'll take $575.00 for it plus shipping.
