It's quite hard and expensive to fit a '94 rx-7 engine into an 2nd gen, and probably even harder to do it in a 1st gen. They use totally different engine mounts, among other things. In fact, I think its actually easier to fit in a 20b. If you want specifics, use the search feature to look, its been covered many times before. Its much easier to just swap in a TII engine (assuming its not already a turbo). If you want more power than that, there are many turbo upgrades you can get ranging from BNR hybrids to a full T04 all the way up to Carx7's wonderful DBB turbo.

Dude, you do NOT want to put a 94 engine in anything else but another Fd..
TOO much work for what its worth. I dont own an FD, but i hear it will last about 70k miles before it dies, and you can make the same power with a 87-91 turbo engine anyway..
