LS1 into '93 RX7 I got a couple questions. First off, does it require fab of the trans tunnel? (I wouldn't know) Secondly, is it hard to fabricate the engine mounts? Is it hard to do the swap in general. I understand that there is a problem with the power steering with the swap. Is there anyway that you can retain the power steering? How about a/c and heat? Oh one last thing, can anyone post the things needed to be fabricated along with some pictures? Before I get flamed, no I don't own the car. It's just that I don't want to buy a camaro then regretting it once I found out that for the same price I could of had a featherwheight LS1. Thanks in advance for the responses.
EDIT: It's my first time making a swap like this. So talk slow...
Also I was wondering is there like a wiring diagram for this swap that I can follow (im not exactly fabolous with cooking up custom wiring) If I do this, I want it with a T-56.

Using Hinson's kit it is a bolt in. You lop off some tabs in the engine bay to clear the a/c compressor... aside from that you simply stab it in and connect the heating/cooling/fuel systems with upgraded parts. Stock radiator won't work.
Typical FD/LS1 conversions are about 2850-2900lbs with a/c and p/s, small battery, and no cats/aftermarket headers/alum driveshaft.
