I have never done a swap but I was wondering what all is involved into swapping engines. I've seen many FD's and FC's having V8's put in them so I was thinking if I just do the opposite in spec kinda copying the idea backwards to get a better idea on what to do. I was going to have a shop do it for me but there is not one around reputable to trust. I'd like to make it my project but not take so long as to take months and months to do.

I think it would be an awesome project to do and I'd rather go with a rotary over cylinders anyday. If I cant have my dream Rx7 I'll just do a drop. Found some engines for 500-1000 with no probs; from wrecked or just pulls.



Any information would be Awesome!



Thanks
