Allow me to crack an egg of knowledge...
All rotaries from 74+ have the same bolt pattern on the bellhousing. All NA RX-7s from 83-92 (including 12A) have the same clutch diameter (225mm). Just make sure to use your 13B flywheel and counterweight so its correctly balanced. The SE trans just has a taller 5th gear than the 12A.

the bellhousing pattern is correct. BUT the GSLSE flywheel is not the same size as the turbo one OR the standard N/A one.

I've never heard that the SE is a different size, I know the turbo ones are a different, but all of the aftermarket 74-92 NA flywheels should be universal. The counterweights are the only difference. This is according to Mazdatrix.
