Forged,
It sure will just re use your old oil pan and front cover..easy bolt in swap. Only thing is you posted in the piston section but your new so no big deal. My only question is why spend the time and money installing another rotary that will be underpowered anyways? If your changing the engine make it reliable and fast and put in a V8 you wont regret it! I have a LT-1 in my first gem and it fits nicely. Just my opinion,good luck with your decision.

A.) It's not even a swap, it's a bolt-in replacement deal.

B.) Everything is underpowered.

Not worth your time unless you are swaping in a turbo motor!

If your first gen already has a 13b, then you are fine.... there are tons of mods you can do to your motor with the cost of that swap.

Custom 13b..... LT-1.... Very nice!

Jimmy54, Thank you my car looks very muck like yours. Same air dam..simular color paints just as nice but you had nicer rims. Guess your 7 isnt around any longer? Sorry if it isnt..beautiful car! I still think a V8 is the only way to go but thats my opinion. Once you drive a V8 powered 7 Im willing to bet youll want one. Its one of those things unless you experience it you just cant understand it. Either way its your car..do what pleases you.

hey thanks for all the advise. What is going on is that my friend has a 2nd gen with an LS1 in it and he has the engine still and my other friend has a 1st gen that has a shot motor. So i was just going to swap in the other motor just to have it running.
