I'd go with a 327c.i turbo jet vette motor in a first gen. 360hp and a somewhat light motor. Or for fun you could drop a LS6 450hp 454 with a M22 rock crusher trans and a ford 9" rear end. But then again it all defeats the purpose of a RX-7 in my opinion.

LS1s don't have 7K rev limiters, my TA had it come on at 6K, bumped it to 6200. C5s might get up to 6500, but that's about it, I forget their setup.
I'd go with an LS1 over LT1 for two reasons:
1. Optispark. You will hate life with the Opti, don't ever let it get wet. If you do go LT1, get a new water pump, the weepage from a leakign seal will kill the Opti.
2. Aluminum block on the LS1 for weight savings
T56 is nice with the 4.11s in the RX-7, common upgrade for the F-body is 4.10 rear gears.
I wouldn't waste my money on an LS6, just add the LS6 manifold and some aftermarket parts, and you'll be at the 400HP level easy.
G'luck.
