I've driven an 85 RX7 and absolutely loved the power and torque. I just bought a 79 courier for $40. I know it's very simular to the repu and want to know how much work I need to do.

well.. the easiest way is to get it in there is to make a custom engine bridge and use a frist gen RX7 front cover.. heck.. maybe evan a first gen engine.. then get the tranny from a first gen too.. I think you might need a custom driveshaft...

If you looking for NA power just run a 84-85 SE motor with EFI and tranny.That should hold you over for awhile

that too.. it is the same simple mounting process.. as long as you are a bit handy with tools.. you should be ok..
