Sorry for the low quality pics (cell phone). But anyway i started with the motor and tranny plus everything else in a package deal, which was nice. Than i began my search for a nice solid chasis. After a couple months of searching and some falling outs from people i landed this 1994 white chasis rx7 in VA (about a 5 hour drive from my hometown altoona, pa) and began my build right away!

Dont mind my redneck temporary window in the dodge lol busted it out the day before loading wood! After getting the car home i started cleaning up the bay/removing unecessary parts.

After getting everything in place and bolted down it was time to install the motor/tranny.

Took a couple of failed attempts and wiggeling but it finally found its new home in the hinson cradle. Also along the way some more goodies arrived!

So while installing the headers on the car i ran into some problems they seemed to be a real pita. After researching on the JTR's website it said they needed to be installed from underneath the car. Absoluty bs.....The driver side went on fairly easy after some manuevering, but the passanger side i was able to get on after a while by simply removing the valve cover. Dropped right in and did NOT have to be installed from under the car.

Currently just about have the fuel system done and finally mounted the radiator. I sent the harness to be morphed by PEZ (thanks for all your help btw pez your the man!!!) More pics on the way but thats where i'm at so far....

You're making this look easy.  Maybe it's not as bad of a job as I orginally thought.  Time to go buy me an RX7 and get on with a swap!

[trajik]

Well my build thread isn't as detailed as many others on here. Nothing is as bolt up as it says it is always either. The smallest task can take a whole day and you didn't hear all my cursing or see my busted knuckles lol. But I wouldn't consider myself a mechanic either but I am mechanically inclined if that makes sense. The wiring is where I don't have any knowledge so I will be looking for help once I recieve my pez harness.

Any updates?

I think once my swap is done I'm going to host a meet in the area. There is so many Swapped cars around, yet no one gets together!

Looks like it will be a very nice car when done. What other major plans do you have for it?

The meet would be awesome I'd def be in. And as far as plans for the car eventually I'll remove the racing heads and put ls6 heads on build the block and boost it. For now I'll keep it n/a. Next ill need a better rear end. Lol
