Been done too many times to count. I'm getting started on a 93rx7/LS7 swap as we speak. Try v8rx7forum.com

Wow, where have you been? I usually frown upon the members that quickly bring up the search button, but in this case you might have to do a tiny bit of work. This swap has been done 2 billion times and there are many write ups on it, and lots here as well.

There aren't really any complete writeups since everyone builds them a bit differently. Spend a few evenings reading threads over there and then start askign questions. If you don't use the search function you'll find that people quickly stop bothering to answer your questions since we've had a bunch of tools join and expect to have everything spoon-fed to them. Good luck.

Honestly I don't know if a true "rx7 swap writeup" exists. I'm sure most of the build is straightforward then when problems arise, that's when they start posting stuff up. Nearly all the swap parts can be bought off the shelf of a few different vendors...(nonsponsors).

i am doing the same swap...........money wise it's easy.......it can cost a lot. Get on v8rx7forum.com. look into hinson super cars, Jags That Run, and a few others. They have everything need for the swap, but you pay out the *** for it..........Good luck with the build...you will love the finished product.

You might want to reread my post and you'll note that I said "over there". I was referring to V8rx7forum which is where you'll find all the info you need.
