Either move the motor forward and leave just enough room for the radiator or move the motor back which is what you want to do in the first place for the best hook up all around. Now if your good fabricator your able to use the stock mounting points or easier just make a new motor mount that would go from chassie to chassie in the most simpliest of forms where the motor would bolt up to the mountion points on the front oil cover.

I have heard of people using the floor pan of the Rx7 to convert a FWD car to RWD. You'll have a LOT of fabrication ahead of you in any event.

It will most certainly be a ton of fab work, but damn it would be worth it to have something so different.

doesnt seem like i would be worth the work

right now you have an amazingly practical combo of a good on gas reliable daily driver and a fun weekend car

if i were you i'd keep them together

if you still want to do it, best of luck
