It it's not already gone, that is.

     There's an ad in the local paper for an '87 RX7, described at good body, 
clean interior, bad engine.  Is USD $500 a reasonable price for such?  

     It would give me an opportunity to learn the engine "from the shaft up" 
so 
to speak.  It seems like that's about the same price I'd pay for a used 
running engine, but I'm a long way from having an aircraft ready to put it in. 
  I'd like 
to start applying some of the performance enhancements talked about here, even 
if only on a "road machine".  Is that a viable strategy?
