I read your email
Waaaay back when..... I did the exact same swap on an RX-2. It was eeeeasy and all the mount points were the same. If you have a doner 7 with all the parts, it shouldn't be that hard at all. Believe me, the RX-2 and the RX-7 ain't that much different. The hardest part is swapping in the flywheel. I say go for it!
