I would think a jz or rb would be too heavy and ruin the good stock handleing factor of the rx7's....Plus it would be hard to make engine mounts ect because the steering rack is in front of the crossmember...just said id add my thought

If you think that expensive you must think the whole conversion will cost 2/3k , if you to 1jz/rb26 the fd id guess it would cost 6/7k min .Quote:

Well maybe James can jump on this thread again and fill me in... I hear James had more issues with his seating position than the engine...:DQuote:
