Talking FC L67 swap

Hey guys, I used to be on this forum cuz i had a little beater 82 rx7, but I recently picked up a 87 rx7 n/a at the wreckers for $500, body is in excellent cond. has full body kit and nice vented fenders on it, interior gutted, engine runs then stalls.. but it is missing air flow meter, so thats probably why, the wiring under the hood was all mangled when i got it, fixed it all and bam started right up haha.. Anyways I have 2 gm L67 Supercharged v6 engines(one is in my 97 GTP) the other I got years back from my work some old lady ordered a new engine cuz the p/s bracket broke off the block haha, only 130,000kms on it, anyways I also have a Toyota W58 transmission and apparently it will bolt to my v6 with a 88-99 jeep AX5 bellhousing. I am having a bit of issues figuring out what flywheel/clutch to use/make. But I am going to match it all together and slap it in this FC!!!!! Just thought Id give you guys the heads up and I will be posting information and photos as the project comes together, I plan on getting everything fitted/tested/operational and then do a complete tear down for finishing work, nice paint etc.. Hope to have it drivable before june

Excellent.
I'm quite interested in V-6 swaps, should be plenty powerful and considerably cheaper than the typical LSx.

Good luck with that, I got a 355 sitting in my garage needing rebuilt. Currently my 13b has over 23xk miles on it...I'm just waiting for it to crap out. I bought this V8 for $75....not sure weather it'll be in the rx or my station wagon lol
