Questions about swapping in 5 speed
Hi my name is ahsan I am relatively new to this forum, but always planned to become active once I actually owned an rx7. I currently after a long wait own an 86 rx7 s4 94k miles on it with an automatic trans. Now I am still learning, but from what I know the best way to make power N/A is through porting. The car is automatic, but I was planning to convert it to a five speed manual trans in the near future. However I also want to make somewhere around the 225-250 hp mark on the fc. Would it simply be a better option to rebuild a turbo 2 block and trans, and then swap that in later or work with the current 13b I have in it right now? Along with that, I was wondering what exactly would be needed to do a five speed swap and the cost(yes I already used the search however did not find quiet what I was looking for). Here are some pictures of the car:

Thanks for the input guys do you think it would be better to simply buy a shortblock and rebuild. Afterwards get the wiring harness,ecu etc. Or should I get one from a JDM motor import website I think they cost around 16-1700 with everything from the website.
