looking for a good r53 motor

blew up my motor @ thunderhill this past monday

the initial diagnosis was oil starvation from sustained g load @ high rpm

I consider myself a better than average driver and I was running ~2:10s. Apparently the load I was putting on the engine warranted either popping an extra 1/4-1/2 quart of oil or getting baffling in the oil pan

in any case...fellow minians; I'm looking for a running R53 motor complete block/head. Supercharger not necessary but I will consider it.

pm me or email if you guys find anything much appreciated
