not to beat a dead horse but you should throw a V8 in there.... NOT a puny 302, NOT an iron block sbc or sbf, but an all aluminum, super-short overall height, super awesome 6-speed LS1T56 setup in your T2 shell.
man, even I dont think I would build a V8 RX7 wth either of those V8's you have layng around. even if they were free. why? the FC is such a nice chassis, it should be given the LS1 motor... small size but big power, stock!
BUT, I would build another LS1FC if I had the money... mine ******' rips.
anyhow, good luck with your turbo rotary. heh.

Why the hell would someone use block weld in this motor? Its coolant seals were just fine.
I know. The guy I bought it from blew out the turbo, a it was only a bit of white smoke showing at startup. The owner before him must have put block weld in assuming it was the water seals, not the turbo. Idiots.
Oh well, glad I tore it down.
