What am I missing.
I took some better photos of my engine bay. I need some help trying to find out what all I am missing under my hood, besides a motor, trans, window wiper bottle, over fill bottle for the radiator, and radiator.

Didn't they also have a sub-zero starting fluid tank?
BTW, that front tubular brace looks pretty bad. That piece being bent like that compromises the rigidity of the front end and affects your alignment. I'd get after that rust while you have the motor out, too.

Thank you all for the help here, it means a lot. I am glad to hear it’s all there but some little things. I found a guy that knows of a 73 Rx2 in a junkyard, so I am going to see if he can pick me up something’s.
I am planning to stuff an 80 Rx7 12a and 5speed in it. So I will use those oil cooler lines, if it’s possible. I am going to start to clean up the motor bay this weekend, I was thinking about cutting out that bar and wielding in a new one. I really wasn’t going to do it so soon. But after what you said Wankelguy, I think I might look in to doing that.
Would someone be able to tell me the length of there bar, so when I go to cut a new one I would have the right length?

The RX7 oil cooler lines should work fine. I'll call a friend of mine who has an RX2 and see if he can get the measurement of that front tubular brace for you. You may end up finding out that the frame rails have been slightly pushed together, then you'll need to spread them apart slightly to get the new brace in place. You can use a bottle jack and some lumber to spread the front apart, if need be.
