FYI. I was recently in the Los Angeles area and made a tour
of some salvage yards looking for a few things I needed.
Popular Auto, 14804 Raymer St. (S of Roscoe, E of Sepulveda)
had some 13B short blocks and auto TX flex plates together
with some 12A short blocks. There was one employee who
seemed to be somewhat knowledgeable re the RX-7

 I am replying to 12A and 13B engines.   I live in New London, WI which is
30 miles from Oshkosh.  When Bart Starr was quarterback for the Packers he
opened a ranch type home (called Rawhide) for misfit boys just south of New
London.  The ranch has evolved somewhat into a setting to train boys how to
repair cars.  So support the home, people are asked to donate vehicles (plus
boats, campers, etc.)  Last week they auctioned 600 cars, including 3
RX-7's.   Almost  every month there is an auction.  They have 6 Older
('82-'84) Rx-7s which no one bids on.  You could pick up the entire car for
$200.  Last week a '88 13B in a convertable went for $1600.

I hesitated to tell anyone my 13B source, but I can probably only use one.
