RX7Club.com - Mazda RX7 Forum

Hey everyone. I was planing on buying a 1991 Rx7. But as luck would have it, I just purchased a 1958 Austin Healey Sprite Bugeye. I have been stalking this rx7 club for a few years.

So. I feel bad cause is searched buy was not sure of all the things totally required for swamping.

I would like to post what I would like, and then maybe people who have experience, can post altercations or more affordable ways of doing things.

Goal.
1. 100-150 hp. Its a light car, and I like to cruise.
2. Keep it tucked away. Other then the sound, I would like it to appear stock.
3. Efi or carb? This seems to be the tricky question. People say Carb is easier but, in order to do it, can I get a "affordable" carb 13b? Or is it more affordable to go efi?
4. At home. I have a small shop a few tools, a welder, ect.
5. Transmission I would like a 5 speed.

A few questions I do have.

1. Drive shaft. Best way to make this fit? with the engine and trans in its a small shaft at best. Who has done this, and who can give me tips?
2. Motor mount. I can kinda figure out how to mount a radiator, and other cooling items.
3. Oil pain clearance. How does it "tuck, or should I say wedge" in?

Thanks alot.
