13B swap; Knows it been covered but I've got a question.

I've got a totaled 90 rx7.
I can buy a 79 rx7 for 200 dollars.
My engine was just rebuilt 20,000 miles ago.
The engine has a s4 front cover and oil pan.
I don't know for sure if it is a se front cover or oil pan though.
Other than the engine mounts; do I need to worry about anything else if I swap everything over from my totaled car?
(I was trying to miss another car and the rear slid out; Had to just let it go so I didn't hit anyone.. it just happened.)

1st gen cars need a gsl-se front cover and oil pan/oil pick up to be mounted in this chassis, as well as a racing front engine mount. my 85 gs was converted to a gsl-se 13b six port and I love it. just do some searching, there are many here who have done the conversion, use the search function to see the posts. also go carbed and a header, much simpler.
