Can a 1989 13BT fit in 1988 chasis?
RX7 newbie here.
I'm trying to find out if a 1989 turbo engine can fit in a 1988 chasis. The exterior look the same to me but I just want to make sure.
thx

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.

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).
