You are far from the only one doing a rotary to piston swap. Although, I am not sure that this post belongs in this section. Probably more appropriate in the general automotive section.

Personally I am not a big fan of piston engine swaps into RX7s. Especially low-budget half-*** jobs.

But luckly I have alot of GM experience, so if you have questions about GM V6s or 4 Cyls, I can likely help.

You will not get banned for a swap like this. Infact, jimlab with his V8 FD33 runs most of the forum...

There is a good section on this board for engine conversions. Click on "rotary performance" and then "other engine conversions".

Another good one is v8rx7.com

One day I will have an LS1 powered FC!

You're not the only one...

I've got a L98 based 383 stroker going in sometime soon... Just need to finish up the rebuild on the engine, and gather the necessary TII rear end parts.
