well it's more of a finch than an eagle but it's still alright!
crate motors are roughly $2200 but i found a used motor w/ 145k on the clock for $250. will run this motor till it dies then replace. also getting transmission, lsd rear and several other bits from the 145k mile car for an add'l $150.
long term plan for the car is to get it autocross ready w/ fresh suspension (possibly flyin miata package), sticky rubber and a roll bar (hard dog as mentioned seems to be a popular choice).
will be replacing air bag steering wheel w/ some sort of momo. seats may stay if i can get low enough via foam removal. arm rests are leaving. a/c will not be replaced when motor swap occurs (i'll take light over cool any day).
have some outer rocker rust repair to do and noticed the car at some point had a master cylinder leak so will probably replace a lot of the braking system.
car is a '90. replacement motor will be from a '92 (which i believe doesn't have a crank nose issue that i've read about).

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
