Not to good with FDs but ill it a shot. The pics didnt work for me so Im going blind. Ok if its a twin setup, most owners replace that with a big turbo, because the stock twins suck at life. As far as swapping in an LS1, its tried and true, but not necissarily more reliable. Most Na rotories can go for 200k with out a rebuild if maintained properly, turbo motors a lil less. They are in fact very reliable, and if something goes wrong can be rebuilt for damn cheap, like 1600 and that includes labor, a lil more for porting. Not totally dissing the idea of a LS1 just try to wankle and then do what you like. Like I said an LS1 is a great swap, you can get good power and about the same gas milage. You can go to www.rx7club.com and do a lil searching on some stuff. I am an fc fb/sa guy so besides the fd shell I had, havnt had much experience with the FD.
