20B's are getting as scarce as hens teeth. Can you find a 20B for less than
$4000 or $5000 these days.

   Is it possible to buy the engine parts that are unique to the 20B from
your local Mazda Dealer , or does one need to have a Mazda dealer /
or Individual entrepreneur  from Australia / Japan ,export them to us?

  Is there an estimated price for all this ?

 Or are we building Orphans here ?

I don't know the answer to all those questions but I have heard you can
buy 20B parts from MazdaTrix or Racing Beat. the 20B is indeed an
orphan but hopefully the e-shaft and unique-to-the-20B-center-housing
can be made locally. Bruce Turrentine has found an outfit that can
lap and nitride center housings. All someone really needs to do is cut
one up and make a copy pattern and have some cast up in iron.
