not necessarily. if you need bumpers. sunroofs, interior parts, dizzy, coil, taillights, and some other stuff, then yes. use the SA oil cooler tho; there are many threads on how to do this.

I have a 1979 SA and I have practically done every upgrade to it except for fuel injection and turbo. I love FBs because of the easiness of parts but I love the SA because they lighter, more old school look of a sports car and rarity. If you do all the upgrades, then you can be better than any FB on any given day......
went to the 1st gen FAQ's then, 4th or 5th question down.

Ya, this is in the faq page. The differences are basically the bumpers, tailights, seats, interior, side molding is thinner, etc. The SA is years 79 and 80. The FB is 81-85.

Well, the only thing that I can say about the Sa's and the Fb's is that I like them both. Each has their own personal character. And the best part being that they are powered by our little Rotary friend, "The wankel that could". Lol
engine swap
Hey guys I have a 1981 Mazda rx7 and I also have a 1991 13b will this fit my car? And if so what do I need to make it fit? This is also my first engine swap.
There are many threads on this forum that have answered that question. Please search first and do some research. Self education is something I respect and admire in new comers. Once your research is done and you still have have specific questions the community can help.
