LS1 powered RX7s Just wanted to comment how amazing you guys make your cars look like they rolled straight out of the factory with LS1's.
My father has a 96 RX7 TT with blown o rings and not quite working turbos. He supposed to be buying a OE block this summer and having his turbos rebuilt but I'm in the process of convincing him to buy and LS1.
Does anyone have a website that chronicles the installation (start to finish) of an LS1 in an RX7?
Cuddos
and thanks

You heard wrong I got all my parts in a resnalble time, with just a little shipping mistake but it was taken care of next day for me.
Its has been laid out a few times and if I remember, someone is or was working on the how-to u are looking for.
