BTW, if you choose RX7, ONLY get the Turbo car. The normal cars doesn't have the suespension, brakes, diff (not to mention some even have 4 lug wheels) that a turbo car does.

Friend of mine in has an LS1 in a Fiero....he is not a genious and the install went pretty well.
I think there is a company called V8 Archies that does kits for LT1 and LS1 swaps in Fiero's....this is where he got the hardware to do the conversion.
(this was last year, I think he said theses were prototypes...so maybe they are now released)

SN95 Mustang(94-98) I always liked the styling but not the wussbag 4.6 V8.
300ZX Get an N/A model(they are kinda pokey, high 14 sec 1/4 mile, maybe). Would be a difficult and expensive swap IMO because not a lot of people are doing it, plus the 300ZX is a complicated car with a tight engine bay. The styling is pure sex though.

The Mistsu car is too hard to find in good shap, and needs good bit of fabbing. Stick with a proven swap car with kits available if you want budget (2nd Gen RX7!)
You never sepcified your budget or level of fabbing skills

My 1935 Ford sedan is cheaper to insure than my "commuter car" 2006 HHR, and it is alot more fun to drive. My insurance agent never even asked me to open the hood........he asked,"how many cylinders?"........I reply, "eight"....he says ok, that's all I need. The ultimate stealth street racer.

Well and I don`t think I could do a honda civic, I don`t wanna be seen driving one of them.My vote would be for a late 3rd gen f-body as far as ease/cost of swap. Or for a G-body for a little cheaper insurance/ better stealth
