The later series (c and newer) have larger dowel pin castings in the rear plate, fat center plate, and front plate. The castings are identical to the 93-95 FD, while B series and older are like the 89-91 FC castings.

There is a stamp on the top of the front iron, drivers side - it will have a three digit number. If there is a letter in front of it, than it is a letter series. If not, than it is pre-A series.

The 89-1/2 to 91 13bt's have the thicker dowell castings too. It is the earlier S4's that are not reinforced.

On my B-series engine, the front side housing has the thicker casting while all the others are not reinforced.

If it was Cams race engine I bet it was. Bazai edition I think the guy in Davids thread said. Should be quick. Look forward to hearing how the drive was.

Yes. the car runs and drives. and yes it is cams engine. He gave me these #s 435 whp @ 6psi and 550 whp @ 15 psi. I havnt dynoed the car but am interested to see if this is correct. Glad that car is local and will stay in touch with gonzz.
you can check out the sale thread @ https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=624388
and there is a myspace link in there. The videos were shot after completion of the swap.

I look at these pics of car when clean and almost want to keep it.
The pics of dirty car are as it sits now in garage. it just collects dust and deserves a loving household.

Hey Allrotor, whats up with the bonzai shell, what are your plans. Need to start a thread w pics.
