Hi everyone
I don't have access to an rx7 at the moment, couldn't find the info in the shop manuals, and can't figure out search terms that don't return a thousand results, so I'm biting the bullet and asking.

Can someone give me the dimensions for the transmission, engine (shortblock and fully dressed), and rear diff?

Hopefully someone has already done this and I'm not asking too much
Thanks!

Where do you need it messured and what engine specifically? What about the rear diff now?

Forgot to mention, sorry
13b n/a
just looking for general overall dimensions for starters, length width height. For "dressed" I'm looking at intake and exhaust on, and alternator (I shouldn't need the other accessories). I also need the length, width, and height of the manual transmission, and the length from the u-joint to the center of the output shaft of the rear diff.
Trying to do some prelim checks to see if a swap is feasable
Thanks

i know that a 13b will almost fit into a 12x12x24 box. the only thing keeping this from happening is the oil filler tube, and if im not mistaken, you can take that off somehow.

and what swap are you thinking about doing?

Download the competetion manual on the bottom page.

page 50 in the pdf document has measurements on the gearbox
page 27 has driveshaft length.

It's a transverse mid engine platform for those uninformed. I was looking at different measurements for a possible longitudinal swap, but looks like keeping it transverse is necessary. Rotating the engine "plugs down" similar to this site: http://www.flyrotary.com/whypu.htm to avoid the exhaust coming out right where the output shaft from the transmission is seems the best way to go. A lot of other little details in there, of course, but I'm just doing preliminary searching for now (although with a $300 84 for sale close by that might change).
