Repu Conversions

finally the REPU gets a forum
i would like to know how much work is involved in putting a 12A or 13B into a 78-83 mazda pickup. i might be buying one if it can be rotorized.
question 1. the donor rotary would be a 1st or 2nd N/A rx-7, what parts would i need from either car?
2. how much modifying would i have to do to the truck?
any input you guys have would be killer
thanks

I think that swap is similar to a REPU swap.I know the chassis is narrower than the newer ones which makes turboing out of the question without a custom built manifold.For a NA swap then I'd say its doable. Judge Ito would know if he reads this thread that is.

I paid $700 for my 88' RX7 (Great running gear)... but not a single straight piece of metal on it.
I did drive it for 3 months before I did my transplant.
(The front end had been hit and clearly the frame was bent, or unibody...)
I orginally was going to use the factory ECU, but the mess of wires and brittleness of them made me opt for a Haltech, plus the tunablity was a strong factor.
