Wouldnt have happened if it had an LS1 
Looks likes your standard turbo rotary meltdown! Heres the ebay link
On a side note, I have been debating a LS1 FD RX7 swap for a while now and I was wondering which way would be a better approach. I have 98 Z28 M6 with 105k on it nice car cant tell it has that many miles at all. If I was to do the swap would it be better for me to steal my motor, tranny, wiring ect... and sell the car as a roller then build all my stuff and throw it in a RX7? or just sell the car as a whole and start over buy everything seperate?

I've owned a roary powered car...never had any fires, this is the first i've heard of one melting down like so. they're known for the engines popping at 50k....and being hard to tune safely...not catch fire..like cough:::VWs:::cough
