Whats goin on , my name is Wes from Boston, Mass , just bought a 3rd gen shell , happy to be here, happy to own a rx7 ! Know very little about these cars but always loved em! So i got a few newbie questions.. lol



What would be the cheapest way to get this car up and running? Remember its a shell, Buy a jdm 13btt off ebay for $1500 , drop it in and be ready to go? Is it direct drop in ?



What other engine options do i got thats fairly a drop in swap ? And price range?



Or should i buy a blow engine swap, and have it bridge/ street ported? Whats the price range of a blown swap?



Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Moving this to the 3rd gen section, you should get more answers there.

A lot of Jspec engines are junk, and need a rebuild...
