I'd wait until you got the cars In hand to ask any swap questions.
It sounds like you don't know what you are getting yet.
Engine swaps are easy,that is if they are from the same car.Different engines?,then that gets more involved.
Auto to manual gets a bit more technical but it is done frequently.So much that there will be Threads just with for that very sbject...should be in your GEN specific Archives section.

What I want to do is put a 13b turbo in it. I know one is stock for sure I have no idea about the other getting em from a guy I work with selling em both for only 600$ one needs a water pump and alternator but he has the water pump just needs to be put in. Im really excited even though we just got like another foot of snow today ya spring in Alaska oh well may time is when it'll be nice sunny all the time haha. May to October.

FL How to sell 1985 Mazda RX7

The wife of a friend of mine loved her 1985 RX7 from the day she bought it new.
Unfortunately she passed away recently.

My friend asked me to help sell this RX7.
I do not know about this car. Does anyone want it -- other than CarMax?
I have vaguely heard that some racing people covet the RX7 rotary engine.

The car:
1985 RX7
93,000 miles.
Outside and inside are absolutely mint.
Probably needs attention to motor mounts and minor drive shaft vibration.

I am asking you for advice on where to market -- and what it may be worth.

Thank you,
David
