Default Me and my friend are gonna build a LS1 RX7.

He is gonna get the turbo II FC that I was looking at for around $450.

Then we got a long road ahead. From all the research I have done about the swap it doesn't seem to difficult. The parts are there. We just gotta get the whole thing together.

Should be a pretty cool build, and I have talked to Brismo7 about the swap. Look for a build thread soon.

Anyone have a cheap *** LS1/T56 combo or know where one is at.
Looking to spend around $2500 for the engine and trans.
