I'm thinking of purchasing a Mazda RX7 Twin Turbo 3rd Gen engine. If i do, i'm gona have to travel a considerable distance to obtain the engine. My question is, how hard is this engine to take out? And how long would it be? I'm a fully trained mechanic, but this will be my first rotary engine. I would be greatfull if you guys could give opinions?

Not too bad. Since you're a mechanic, you should have all the tools. Take an 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm sockets and wrenches. Some dykes, pliers. If it's your first time, might take like 4 hours.

well I am not one and I put in mine with a lil help.....but most people drive a 7 for fun and have a daily driver.... plus you need to make sure you have reliablity mods if it dosent have it atleast

What do you mean by "Reliablity mods"? Do mean, so that the power is boosted for added fun?

Simply pulling the engine isn't much worse than most small sports cars. It's taking all the accessory and emissions stuff off the block that will eat your time.

There are a few really excellent videos/dvds that show how to pull a 3rd gen engine - it should prove very insightful for you.
