first of all the fe3 only bolts to the 2.0 or 2.2 transmisions. also the miata engine is a completly different engine design and no parts transfer between them. the only miata parts that work are the internals of the transmissions can be swapped for better gear ratios. if you plan to rebuild the engine right away then the one with water should be fine, otherwise i would just find a different one. rust and water in the oil..
