What does a used engine like this go for?
So to further my rotary knowledge I naturally want to rebuild one. So I found a used one of craigslist for 275obo with all the pullies and oil pump. No intake manifold but it would come with headers. The guy says it was pulled from a formula one car but it was running fine when they pulled it out.
Think it's worth the 250 or so id be willing to pay for it?

Odds are its from a older style Formula Mazda or Star Mazda. It's most likely similar to a second generation RX-7 engine. $275 is a decent price. You could likely part it out and be ahead. If its a Renesis from a modern Star Mazda then it's a great deal.

RX8's are formula one cars?
I just don't see that.

And somehow I don't think it was an 8 that they were using as the formula car.

Now that I research it. All those ports leads me to believe it's of an earlier model.
That's not an 8 engine is it..?
Can any techies out there identify what model it is? if it's not too old I still want it.
