Default 1994 RX7 5.3 swap

Been working on it a year now, time is scarce and when you want it your way it seems it takes much longer. 57,xxx miles original 5 speed car. I'm using the Hinson swap kit. Here's the parts so far:

1. 2004 LM4(aluminum 5.3L), 50K miles
2. Patriot cnc'd and milled 5.3 heads .028 gasket
3. Lunati 222/230 114+4 cam
4. Stock manifolds for now
5. LS1 intake(figured if it's decent on LS1's with 23 less cubic inches it should do the job).
6. Aeromotive fuel system(a1000 pump and regulator, braided lines,etc.)
7. 1998 ls1 ecm and harness(vats removed, setup for 5.3/6 speed with stock ls1 injectors)
8. Spec clutch, stock flywheel
9. Ron Davis radiator with Taurus fan
