Had to pull the ebay universal power window kit, driver's side unit failed, but it wasn't the motor that failed, one of the cables snapped.
So I had to put the manual cranks back in.1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)

I was going to test the fit on mine today, but will put it off until next weekend. I have cut and drilled the mounting holes akready.

I have another well used block I bought to build up as a spare, but have not done it yet. Tonight I took it apart, and learned it needs bearings, cylinder honing, a polish on the crank and rings. I will get that done tomorrow and then attempt to assemble it myself. Not at all sure I can get it done in time.Thricetiva replaced Icetiva as the new ride

Stripped down my remaining cores looking for one to rebuild in a hurry.

Kept working on an engine rebuild, and put in new bearings and rings then tapped all the holes on the outside of the Miata block that are not used until you convert it to a B6T configuration. Still a lot of work to do before I can go racing this weekend. Going to miss Saturday.
