RX7 '87 Needs lots of parts :P

Have my first RX7 and I want it to kick me off into loving them even more...
I have an RX7 I've got in the garage, that needs a new motor...
I'm thinking of getting either:
A) Turbo II motor
B) Street Port motor

I have a fairly new transmission(stock) that was rebuilt, and I'm pretty sure it can handle a Street Port motor, but if I get a Turbo II or a turboed 13b motor, am I going to need a new transmission?

Also, want a new clutch and shift kit
Dunno what to get for the clutch, but I'm really wanting this "Miata Short Shift kit" It's pretty nice.

Shift kit: http://www.duettomotors.com/miata/shortshift.htm

To the point: SUMMED UP:
Any recommendations for a clutch?
--Do you recommend the Street Port motor, or a turboed motor?
Would I need a new transmission for a turbo II Motor/13b Turboed
-If so, any recommendations?
+Also, if anyone knows where I can get any parts like this(prefferably a new clutch at least) hit me up.

Thanks.

yes you will need a new tranny for a turbo motor. The stock N/A tranny will take it, but it was not designed to and will have a significantly shorter life behind a boosted motor.

So do you think I should just stick with getting a Street Port motor?
Do you have any rec's on Clutch? Thanks.

Btw. Do you know someone named Ronny up there? Drove(may drive still?) an AWD Talon(Might live down here, still)
