Thanks everybody for the support! So now Ive got an update for you.  Its time to start a motor swap! Purched a wreaked 86 RX7 with the 13B Rotory    It really is too bad that I only needed the motor. This car is clean as hell. Would have been easy to fix. Only needed a radiatory hood and core support. Everything else on the car is straight. But we all have to make sacrifices I guess So heres the juicy part. 13b with EFI. The EFI is going for damn sure. Too much wireing. Makes my head hurt just looking at it.  The beauty of sawzall magic   And everybody knows what an engine puller is for. To help you find wires that you forgot to disconnect! Mines a little bigger than most though.  More to come!

Even if I have to build an intake I am determined to get a stock hood back on this thing!

Hows the progress on the engine swap going?? That will be sweet when complete! Keeping the stock hood will be bad ass, makes sense with the 13b choice. Using a Kubota for an engine hoist is awesome, wish I had a tractor!
