Engine Swap

Hey just moved and the altitude is messin with my Firebirds engine, so my dad wants to turbo, but the problem is I have a high compression engine(11.3:1) and we would have to completely rebuild the engine. So we decided to just buy a new low compression engine and rip the old 400hp LS1 out. So imediatly I thought hey drop it into an RX7 light, agile, good looking. So any info on an LS1 engine swap to an RX-7 would be useful. Thx

Learn it, build it, rip it.

Great combination, especially if you already have a built engine. Come see us over at TorqueCentral. I'm on AIM as digitalsolo if you have questions as well.
