Ive got a 5.0 rx7 the engine fits your gonna need a 5.0 oil pan from a merc or linc I think the double sump so it fits over the cross member and sway bar if ur using a t5 tranny a custom linkage might be a good idea or ull punch the radio lol I've got a Mazda rear end that came on my FC with stronger axles and LSD oh and a custom hood cuz the intake manifold won't clear my car still handles like it's on rails so I dunno why everyone thinks that handle like crap I'm pushing close to 500 at the wheels if it hooks it runs easly high 11s on street tires I'm planning on ripping it out tho and putting a 13bREW or 20B in it this winter running 93/110 octane mix is getting retarded Email me for pics if u wanna see how it fits in enjoithabling@hotmail
