Hi Paul,

    Let's say I buy a Renesis from a Mazda dealer next to my house:

    What would I need to order?

    I got a quote for the following to get a feel:

    Engine automatic:                $5700
    Water pump:                         $  145
    Pulleys: 3 of them                $    24
                                                   $  120
                                                   $    ??
    Auto Counterweight:          $   included may be, I do not know?
    Coils                                       $    96  each I guess
    CAS                                        $  111
    Intake                                     $1107
    Exhaust manifold                  $  849

    This is Canadian dollars

    I believe Intake and Exhaust are not required

    Am I missing any stock items from the dealer?

    I understand aviation changes as per tracy Crook are required

    Thanks

    JP

    Auto counter weights are probably not included in the
    high power version of the RX8 engine. You will probably
    just get a flywheel. I am not sure. You will have to check
    with your local Mazda dealer. The low power engine might
    come with it.

    The intake won't do you much good in an aircraft as it is
    too tall.

JP, buy yourself an engine off e-bay for $400-$1500.  (13B)  It will have almost all that stuff and you can still sell the rest of the parts.  Other things you are missing are also readily available on e-bay for much cheaper.

And still, any way you look at it, it is cheaper than a lyc.

If I were you I would make friends with a local independent car repair

person and buy the RX8 engine through him.
His price would be closer to $3800. I would not mess with the auto tranny  low power engine. I would get the high power stick tranny version.

I hunted around and found a complete Renesis engine and accessories with
2K miles on it for $3K.  Race conversions and wrecks are becoming more
common.

JP,

Bruce T will sell you a new engine with all of the mods completed for
about the same price.
