JDM swap, is it worth it???
i know this guy in vegas, he just spent $3g's to have a JDM '98 rx-7 engine and tranny shipped over, wondering if this is worthwhile??? thinking of picking up a '93 rex that needs a new engine, and figured i could just build one up, but is the '98 that much better??? if anyone has any insight, that would be greatly appreciated...

you really should spend the extra money and get a street port. i had my reman put in last year and figured 300hp would be right where i need to be. now it seems i am obsessed with performance and am looking at larger injectors and regret not getting the port and water passage done. i do understand engines are expensive, and nobody wants an permanent rx7 garage ornament.
