Ok, the reason for this is to have a centralized list of sites we all have used to help with our swaps. I know we've all done hours of research and browsing. we've found helpful and not so helpful sites to aid in our swaps. also, we've all had personal experience that could help others if they decide to follow in our foot steps.

I'll keep the first post updated as people post information. Sites you know for kits, parts, or helpful information (tips and tricks?) so if your post disappears, i just moved it to the first post.

if you have personal info to share, please post it here as well.

Once there is more info in this thread, I will make it a sticky.

Thanks everyone

...my idea is that even someone with little to no knowledge would benefit from this list as well as those who've been around rx7s forever.

More helpful info:

www.norotors.com it seems to be new source since v8rx7 is down.

These two names:

Samberg and Pez.

Samberg is a fabricator who makes some great pieces for swaps if you don't like what Hinson sells. I don't think he has a website but he can be found on the norotors forum.

Pez is Eat Pez from rx7club. Pez is also a fabricator but also specializes in wiring and a/c conversions for v8 rx7s.

Both are helpful and seem to be the reigning autorities on the subject.

Knowing what I know now, I would have likley gone with Samberg's subframe and tranny mount.

Brian Hinson has been nice to deal with and has been very helpful whenever I've had questions.

Pez (Eat-Pez) aka Greg is a great guy... I've turned wrenches with him many of times and seen the great work he does... last i knew, he also does wiring harness modifications...

and thanks kenny for putting the new forum on here... i've not been on there in a while...
