Do you want to stay rotary? Turbo? Non turbo? V8?

What do you plan on doing with it?

So, I imagine the 12a would be the most sensible option?

I'd imagine he'd want to keep it rotary..

How about a 13b?

(this is a question for someone else..but I do plan on purchasing a 3rd gen RX-7)

12a wouldn't be a swap at all, that's what it has now.

13b Turbo is fairly popular and will give you more power than you'd ever need.

I can post a couple links for you if you want.

Go for it, can never have too much information.

Hell, I might even buy a 1g just to get accustomed to rotary.

btw, isnt the whole point behind a swap to get more power? How much would a 13b yeild?
