Take a look over at Torquecentral.com for info on the swap. You will love the car with the ls1 in it.

the RX7 -> LS1 swap is almost plug and play these days with the amount of custom pieces that you can buy premade. If you have any automotive background of doing work on your car yourself (even if its putting on an exhaust and changing your oil) you can do this swap. The biggest thing with it will be patience and alot of homework/reading.

look at hinsonsupercars.com they modified my buddies front member to drop his ls6 in his 93 rx7. They also tuned his ecu for him.
