Red face what do i need to put a ls1 in a genIII rx7 besides motor?

I just got a 95 rx7 and motors blown. I got the car with all the goodies from my friend. Big turbo intercooler waste gate. but i dont know if i want to go that route. like him and every one else ive been reading about. people have been gettin burnt out on building these rotarys and 7000.00 or more later pop them like paper meshy. I wasnt into taking away the value or degrading the rx7 tradition but im not going to let this rotary problem stand in the way of my love for the car and my pocket. So my question would be is if any one with good knowledge that can give me insight on the ls1 swap in a rx7? is there a kit, do i need mounts or a harness,or websites. if i can figure this out ill just get rid of all the new stuff like 76 ball bearing turbo kit w/6in core intercooler and other goodies i wont need.

basically you need hinsonsupercars.com kit(they have everything for you and are renowned for their kits)

a complete pullout swap including t56(6spd) and ls complete block, pcm and wiring.

a lot of time infront of you so you can make a clean *** ride.

goodluck man, its well worth it and really fun to drive

i was looking at doing this too! thinking about buying one. I heard good things about hinson too! with granny speeds i think the only thing i read was that some people had a hard time getting there things quickly?

Good luck! I hope i can join you all with the LSx motor world! Which LS motor were you looking at?
