Engine Swap?
well I was just wondering what would be a good replacement engine for a 13B from an 89 FC RX7. The engine is about to go and I was wondering if a piston engine would be a better way to go, but was still wondering what detailed information I could gather about enginesfit other than the oem one. I would much appreciate a list of the engine, thank you.

^^^hahaha. dude, there is plenty of info on this. not just in this forum, but others as weel. IN FACT, there are whole other websites devoted to this very topic. most people who put non-rotaries into there fc's use small block fords or chevys, perhaps most popularly the ls/lt series of GM motors. although i wouldnt personally do it, if you have to put a boring piston engine in your seven, atleast use an ls1.otherwise, just rebuild your 13b, or do a 13b-re swap, or if you are feeling really frisky (and have a fairly nice size wallet and a fair amount of mechanical knowledge/experience) do a 20b swap! ....if i had the money....i would...

Thanks for the info without the intensive **** retentiveness other people seem to give me
Im too mechanically retarded to deal with a rotary engine. I cant rebuild it or figure out how to use those rebuilding kits they sell. I just wanted a naturally aspirated engine for drifting.. but sure, lets try to use peer pressure to make me change my mind and stick with a wankelmeister.. **** no, my pants look stacked, but thats not my wallet. My wallets almost empty, its not my Daily Driver. Im going to trick my friend into paying for my mods and ****

...just a couple to get you started...but to kinda go back to your original question, like i said before, most non-roary swaps are V8's but if you look hard enough you will find that for some reason, 4 and 6 cylinder (ESPECIALLY NISSAN MOTORS???!!) are becoming a little popular, but not nearly on the level as SMC (small block chevy) or even other rotary (13B-RE and 20B specifically) swaps.
