Well, I'm in the process of swapping in a LS3/T56. I'll post some pics when it's done.

In my opinion what makes a real rx7 unique is the rotary. That's why I love RX7's just because of the rotary.

I am in the process of converting to the dark side as the rotary community likes to say, but as I read a few post up, the fix or repair (costly repair) daily thing has come to an end.

I have a 93 BASE model I am putting a LS1 from a Firebird with a T56 tranny. Here is what I am doing to her!!!

Block Stock 2000 LS1
Crank Stock 2000 LS1 (Stock Stroke)
Rods Stock 2000 LS1
Pistons Stock 2000 LS1
Compression 10.2:1
Cylinder Heads CNC-Ported 5.3L Truck (Total Engine Airflow)
Cam COMP XR265HR
Lift .522/.529
Duration 212 In., 218 Ex.
Intake Manifold FAST LSX
Throttle Body FAST
Injectors 36 lb.
Management System FAST


Should get me into the 500hp range and 475torque. I am redoing all the wiring and doing a wire tuck so you will so no wires except those for the engine wiring. I am also going to put dynomat throughout the cabin. I am putting true duel exhaust with magnaflow mufflers. I am not sure which subframe system I am going to use as I have a few more parts to sell. I do have an engine though already. I already have a massive about of aftermarket parts that are on the car. Tein coilovers/susp upgrades, dual pumps in the tank, aftermarket gauges, sloted rotors etc....

I have been throught 2 rebuilds and I am just fed up with the hassel and headache over the beloved rotary. I never intended to going with the LS1 but things have changed.

Cool. You going to at LEAST upgrade the rod bolts since your engine year is the weaker series?

I will be upgrading any issues that may become a problem. I am going to eventually twin turbo the engine also. I want to get into the 800hp range.
