hey there guys, as you can see im new and i searched for similar threads.my good friend has a 1986 gen 2 GXL rx-7 the 13B blew and is not repairable. He wants to do the common 302 swap with a big kit and instructions on how to do it, but its going to be a gutted weekend DD drift car and that engine is going to cause weight issues.
one soulution is to replace the drivetrain with a 4.0L V6 and the 5spd from a 2WD ranger then replace the rear with a coilover 9in and 2.83 gears.
another is to replace the engine with a inline 6 DOHC 24V toyota motor we found and try to find a maual trans for it.
last one is to put a 3.8L V6 t-bird carbed engine with a AOD manual valve body and try to find lower gears for the differential.
heres the things i have on hand for this build, the car, a part time use shop, a 302, a 4.0L V6, a 3.8L V6, a spare 9in with the 2.83 gears(leafspring). I work at a trans shop so the AOD and 5spd will be no problem to get, i have a B&M shift kit for the AOD
please spell things out for me i dont know the abbr. for half the things you guys know(truck guy). the only real issue will be splicing the interior wiring harness with the engine harness if we go EFI. thanks guys ill keep in touch
