there is a guy back home that did an LS1 swap on a 3rd gen RX-7, it was very well done and on the badass scale id give it a solid 8-1/2. true sleeper, stock wheels, body, it even had a single exhaust tip lol (engine prolly came from a camaro which has a y pipe anyway)

I have a neighbour with the same deal - LS1 in an RX7 - get car.
You do have to be careful on engine swaps - depending where you live - on the emission tests....

idk ls1 swaps are sick and all but im a big fan of 240's and i love the sound of the sr20det.
the ls1 swap into a 240 hass been done a few times before
but its taken a little over 3 years to do to get it running right.
i say u get a 240, swap it with a sr20det get a coilover suspension, 2-way lsd and ur set. u wont regret it !!!
