FC RX7/FD swap

Sup guys, so ive got a few questions, and i hope that im putting this post in the right place...so here it goes:

Im looking to pick up an FC: (this one)

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...s187/rx7FC.jpg


Anyway, this is the one, and im looking to do a direct FD motor swap into it.

Now, im a pretty good mechanic, and have more than enough tools for the job, and a nice garage. But sence this is my first actual rotary car (having done other motor swaps) what is different? Im guessing i could have it completed in about a month (with all my spare time involved in it minus school (UTI) and work.

If there is a tread concerning this issue please direct me to it.

Thanks for reading, please leave comments and any helpful advice.

And if any of you that live in phoneix want to stop by, have a few beers and check out the project, your welcome too, just PM me.

thanks again

as cliche' as it is to say... a 13b-re swap is much more practical, easy, cost effective, and unique!
