non rotary engine swap
Hi i have 1985 rx7 GLS 1st gen that just puffs smoke some days and runs fine others. I'm at my end with the rotary engine! So can anyone give me a suggestion 4 or 6 cyl engine (non-rotary) that can be swapped in with not to many drastic changes? I deal with American muscle and just can't figure out these rotaries, I like the look of the cars but hate the engines.

he's referring to the SR20 from the Nissan Silvia and yes the 2.3t would fit in a first gen...my buddy had one in the 10's with that swap
