Cool thanks Jon
It will be a weekend thing--start on a saturday morning--hopefully with no problems get it done that day or close and finish Sunday--but there is always problems.
He is sending me a long block,I know I have to take the dynamic chamber off to wire everything up--As far as I know I should only need the gasket for that,and a new header gasket,plugs ,new wires,oil filter,motor oil,tranny oil,coolant--that should be it.Am I missing anything ,Anything at all I should buy .And a new o2 sensor
I might not use the flywheel I have now,I don't like the way the rpms comedown so fast and sometimes kill the motor,Its a Bönez Aluminum Flywheel I paid almost 500.00 for it from rx7.com.If the one on the new motor is in good shape I might just use it,so if some one wants it--show up and help me out.

whoa, whoa, BBQ??? when was there a MD BBQ??? Seriously
But do you need anything that you don't already have in way of tools? Do you already have a cherry picker?
I'm up for helping, but don't want there to be to many cooks in the kitchen though.
