Default 1993 Rx-7 LS1 Conversion..questions??

Anyone know a place i can find a LS1 rx7 conversion kit for around $1400 or less? That dosn't have a 8 week waiting list?? Willing to buy a used one. Any advice on doing a 93 LS1 in a rx7 would be great too. Thanks guys.

do you want to do it right, or do it cheap?
The Hinson has far and away the most R&D in it, and is a PROVEN product. I've never seena Granny's kit that didn't have serious sitment issues. Personally, I'd wai my time for the Hinson kit, if there is a wait. You'll be happy when you're done!

^Yep. Hinson's stuff is quality, but be prepared to wait for it.

I've been waiting patiently for my Hinson kit! Hopefully only a few more weeks.

But the trade off to waiting is quality parts that fit right. I think there's a reason for the waiting list, because everyone wants his parts. Don't go the cheap and fast way... you'll pay more in time, money, and frustration when your parts don't fit. Just my .02 cents.

For an FD, wait for Hinson.

In the FCs, Grant's kit fits just fine. I know, I have one-
