i found a 87 fc for $200
Hey guys, there is a 87 rx7 na in the local newspaper with no engine, it says in the ad the body is in excellant condition, how much would it cost me to put a new engine in it, or maybe convert over to tII? i know corksport, and some guys on here sell the turbo engines for $750 and $850 but im not sure i can install a engine myself, how much would it cost me to get one installed, also, does anyone know who sells na engines?? if somone would want to give me a engine, i could trade them my 85 rx7 that runs sorta, also i could give somone a little $$ to install it, if there anywhere near chattanooga, tn.
Let me know guys,

I've had two engine installs done:
1st at Mazda dealer - $1500 for labor
2nd at local shop - $980
Not sure where you can get an engine at, but I sometimes see people selling rebuilds and ported rebuilds on the forum.

To convert it to a TII, you'll need a TII engine, tranny, starter, harness, and a few other doo-dads. The engine can be had from www.corksport.com, however I recommend tearing apart their engines to check out overall condition of them as they are used J-Spec engines torn outta wrecked cars. To get the car running will require alot of work, but it'll prolly be worth it in the end.

www.car-part.com
You can find almost any used part you want on that site. It is a huge database of junkyards.
I went ahead and did a search for your state and found 3 N/A engines.

All 2nd Gen Japanese RX-7s were turbo...even the convertibles, lucky bastards...right? Thusly there are no J-Spec non-turbo engines. Sorry.

I would try to stay away from a Mazda dealer though. They claim that they have to call in a master-tech and charge an assload of labor.
