If you use a Weiand 8011 intake and a low profile air cleaner a carb setup should work
OR if you use an Edelbrock 7123 5.0L manifold if you want injection
Both are among the slightest of stature.

oh geese,
this isnt looking good, i love Rx7's to death but i am really against a cowl induction hood on it
Is there any way to lower the engine more in between the frame with shorter frame mounts? but there might be a problem with oil pan clearence as well, anyone else have any more info?

spacer sub frame
I have a 5.0 in an FC. You will have to use a low profile intake as said before. Carbed - Edelbrock Performer or similiar, EFI - the one listed might work, I know a stock 94-95 Mustang or 89-91 Thunderbird intake will clear. To get the distributor to clear spacer the sub-frame down a 1/2". I cut 4- 1/2" thick pieces of flat bar and drilled holes in them. Dropped the sub-frame down, placed spacer over spuds( I think that's what they are called) and raised the sub-frame. Spuds(?) are long enough for 1/2" spacer but, not much more. Everything will clear under stock hood. Some trimming will still be neccessary on bottom of hood.
