it's possible, but you'd better have a lot of time, money and patience. imho i dont think it's worth any of the above... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^.
IF your serious about this, buy a half cut so that you can have almost everything you need. check out www.nadauto.com. their half cuts are usually in GREAT condition. pricing is awesome (they wont bend you over) considering the condition. shipping is gonna get you though.
but I'm willing to bet that when you really take a look at what your getting into. You'll probaly change your mind and spend the money on something more worth your time.

What a waste of bloody time... There are seriously no advantages to doing this other than thinking your that much closer to being dalms friend in fast and furious..

Archangles, dude, were you the one that I talked to at A&W with your RHD Seven?
I asked you if you posted on the rx7club and you said "I think so" and I pretty much left, had to get back to work.
I saw your car again (assuming its yours) at the blockbuster across the street.
Dark Silver TII right?

in all honesty. imagine your engine bay backwards and haveing to cut holes that do not exist and plugging ones that you dont want to. it WILL turn into a "chop job" eventually. spend money on mods dude, you'll be happier in the end!

if only it were like that for a 20b swap... you can do that, but only if you have another car to drive while you redo the sub frame, then save up and get the block, then save up and get the turbos, then save up and get exhaust... etc etc. a 20b swap is pretty much a cash up front upgrade, you can't do it step by step.
