Can a 1989 13BT fit in 1988 chasis?
 

RX7 newbie here.

Just spent you couple words and saved me couple minutes :D

By the way, I'm trying to decide on rebuilding or swapping. Rebuilding is $$$. Swapping is cheaper but still a used motor and no guarantee for goodness.

Swaping is not cheaper. A rebuild costs 1k a TII engine tranny driveshaft diff. ECU/standalone is into 2800 or even past 3k.

PS if you want turbo buy a TII that is cheaper than a swap.

1k? You sure about this?
I've asked two shops in my area, both claim to be rotary experts. Cost at least upper 3k.

I think at $1k he means either doing it yourself or sending it to Kevin.

$3K would be right if you don't do any of the labor yourself (You might trust someone else to work on a RX-7... I wouldn't).
