Hi Bill,

Get the ignition coils (both - usually mounted on firewall or fender) and 
the wiring harness that goes with them as well as the crank angle sensor.  I 
use the electrical connectors.  Mazda wants $500 for new ignition coils.  I 
would get everything attached to the engine (manifolds, etc) as some parts 
are useable for aircraft.  Since the oil cooler is gone you can't hear the 
engine run, so I would be hesitant to offer more than a couple hundred (if 
that much).  If you could turn the engine over with a socket and long lever 
arm and hear six good "womps" as the apex seals go past the exhaust ports 
(exhaust pipe disconnect so you can hear), then I might pay $200.  Its 
likely the eccentric shaft, water pump crank angle sensor and alternator are 
good.  The oil pump may be Ok as well.  So might be worth your $200 even if 
housings and/or rotor are junk.  Oh, if its an automatic get the flexplate 
(flywheel), if a manual - you will need to find a flexplate from an 
automatic if you are planning on using one of Tracy Crooks redrives.

MY 0.02 worth

Ed Anderson
