The mount setup is different on them. But I dont see why you could not put the 13B from the SE into a second, you would have to change the front cover and oil pan over to the ones from the 2nd gen. I dont think there would be an easy way to put a 12a in though.

So you get to live in Oshkosh, Wisconsin? Home of the biggest annual experimental aircraft gathering on the planet. Some people have all the luck...

The first gen had the 12a and the 13b engines. You could put either engine in there but you would probably have to fab some stuff up. You wouldn't really want to put a 12a in there though (less power, plus the 2nd gen weighs more).

im guessing that you probobly found a cheap 12a engine at a junk yard and the guy told you that it would fit in your rx7. well they try to do that alot. Its going to be alot cheaper and easier to just find the engine that belongs in the car and do a straight swap rather that having to custom make alot stuff
