I would put an 13b or go 20b, I test drove one with ls1 and it don't turn fr **** to much weight in front. I would keep it Rotary! It changes the balance and weight ratio of the car. Just go buy a Corvette if u want a V8 power. Just my opinion.....

I've got a 2JZ in my FD, and I had I known from the beginning just how MUCH work would be involved, I would have sucked it up and bought another 13B.

It's an RX-7, just keep it rotary like it's supposed to be.

I'm in a position where I'm just "past the point of no return" where even if I wanted to give up and sell the car, I'd lose thousands, so I'm just gonna go through with it and make it the best it can be.

Well that's still cool, why a 2jz and not an ls6 or something of that nature?
