Just Bought 86' RX7

came with no motor. any ideas how i can get car running as quick as possible for as cheap as possible? not saying that i want it done like crap but i just want to start driving it asap. thanx! let me know.

Will me disconnecting the amps from the speakers give me any electrical problems? i installed a new deck in my car and had to disconnect the amps to the speakers in order for them to work.

Find an engine from an '86-'88 NA RX-7. Drops right in.

Disconnecting the amps is no big deal. If you are concerned about sound quality, run your own wire to the speakers. The factory stuff is twisted up in the main harness and is of narrow gauge.
