Hey everyone,

Ive got just a quick question so here it goes. I have a 323 GTX w the 1.6. yesterday i guess the front of the crank decided it was sick of the rest of the engine and left and some how it the process of breaking off cracked my block. Now from what i understand the miata bolck is suppose to be the same? And if so then my head should bolt up to it so i can get back on the road untill i can rebuilt my original one correct? or is this a bunch of bad info? Now i did check part #'s as far as crank and head gasket in the part #'s are the same for the Miata and the GTX so any info here would help remember im just trying to get back on the road for now until i can redo my original block.

Thanks for any help guys.

yes the 1.6 miata is the same block the have the same code on the block to if you wanted to check

 

All B6 blocks are the same.

 

The block's crank pulley on naturally aspirated is different from the turbochraged, BUT the block is the same. I don't know about the crankshaft...

I know for a fact, a buddy of mine went thru that trying to use a crank pulley from a naturally aspirated to a turbocharged block, No they are not the same. The block IS !!!
