I wouldnt use the stock radiator but you might be able to depending on how hot your setup runs. we have a lot of choices for aftermarket radiators that fit if you can make your own brackets and then find the right shape/size hoses at autozone/pepboys, thats what I did and it came to under $250 total.
if you have an '86-'91 rx7, just buy a 255lph walbro fuel pump off ebay for $100 shipped and drop it in.
there is a lot of info on TC, go over there and read your up until your eyes fall out.
good luck and welcome aboard!

www.engineswaps.com has some good instructions online for actually doing the swap.
I'd suggest a Jeg's brand Universal Ford Radiator. They're cheap and GREAT radiators
As for the fuel pump, a piece of copper tube to replace the in tank fuel pump mated with a mechanical pump up front or a proper fuel pressure regulator is what I'd go with.
Torquecentral is in the middle of doing a physical move of their servers, but it should be back up in a day or so. GREAT source of V8 RX-7 information.
