But, even though I have an older 13B, if I were doing it today, I would go with the recent Renesis 13B. Costs are very reasonable and parts are available. If going with the older 13B, you can rebuild them yourself for around $2000 depending on what is reusable. So I think the well is far from dry. Besides, if the 16X ever becomes a production item, then I will be switching to it.

Can't be any worse than the Corvair engine guys! " Both Ray @ Malloy Mazda, and Ivan here at Lozanos in Sunnyvale, have confirmed that Mazda North America is all out of reman 13Bs. Apparently they're done. Ouch. Found one leftover at a dealership Ivan knows on the east coast. We'll see if it's any good. Ivan tells me Mazda had subcontracted the work for the last several years, and quality had become inconsistent. Fortunately he also says he can usually tell a bad rebuild from a good one on inspection. So here's hoping!"
