The motor is out of a 1980 rx7 and I'm trying to put it into a 1986 GL. I'm wondering if I can drill holes in the motor for the 86 mounts and change the oil pan to accomdate the new mounts. My concern is drilling holes in the motor and doing some damage to water jackets etc.

Any ideas?

If that motor is the original motor for that 1980 rx-7 its a 12a.. no 13b was put into production till 84 i believe(correct me if i am wrong but isnt that the 1st year for the GSL-se)... so why the hell would you put a 12a in a 2nd gen? what do you mean the motor was built for max horse power?? them 12a 3mm apex seals vibrate at 6200rpm bad.. and cannot take no more then 8400rpm before they come off seat.. so unless you did a BP and have 2mm seals and say different rotor and E-shaft.. stock one can only take i believe 2800rpm..(2800x3=8400) so you tell.. i am wrong??
