If you have a place to do it, that would help, swapping could be done in a weekend. I've done/helped on quite a few. its not really a bad job, just kinda dirty.
If you got a place to swap it, set up another RX-7 day, get a big BBQ pit, and we'll have at it

For me its more like girls that drive big 4x4's (especially a Toyota like mine), drive RX-7's (especially a 1st gen like mine), or ride dirtbikes (especially 2-stroke motocrossers like me) ...I would just love to met more of those kinda women . I see quite a few where I go riding, but I need more!! And I have yet to meet a girl that drives a 7 .

I pulled up right next to a cute girl in an FB this summer in Toronto. Then she gave me a big smile and we exchange a few words. But what do I do? I nail it off the light and she doesn't. It was busy traffic and I lost her. I'm still kicking myself for that... one of my worst rookie moves yet.

Ok you got a used engine, and you just need to swap it?

If you got a good garage and the tools and a engine hoist/lift. Shouldn't take long at all.. I remember doing a Mazda rebuild swap for a friend a few years back, and it taking about 8-9 hours... Started on it around 4 or 5PM and was done by 2 in the morning. Of course I was suppose to be HELPING, and I ended up doing all of it. **** he was drunk by 10pm.

Baring any major complications tho
