Thier is a Conversions & Hybrids section that might be of great help. A few people have done RX7/LS1 builds, and hang around that section.

Good luck,
Chris

Cool man I always like the FD or FC with LSX engines in them. There is a shop located here in Alabama that specailizes in these swaps. I dont know if they are a sponsor here but PM me if you would like their name. They have a site and sell the swap parts they use to make life a little easier. I have been trying to talk a buddy of mine into doing such a swap. There are a couple of local LSX swapped Miatas, 240s and RX-7s they are pretty nasty even with bolt on LS motors. Good luck with your swap, should be alot of fun.

Yep that's the one. They're in Huntsville, I've drove two of their cam and bolt on FDs and those are pretty crazy on the street.

Well if you just going to drag race it then that is the best choice, but if you have access to autox and road courses then I would go with a manual T56.
