I have 10grand that i want to dump into this rx7.  the cars body is in good shape and the engine is is good shape but needs a rebuild.  i dont know where to get the engine rebuilt and i would rather just get a new 13b single turbo engine how would i do that swap would it just go right in.  And what all could i do with 10 grand to make this car a drivable street car that looks nice but also goes fast when needed.

as far the motor swap im not sure but you have to decide, a show car with some get up and go or a track car that looks good. you can't really do lots of both with 10 g's. i would recomend building up the motor and then putting any money left into looks because it much easier to do down the road.

You got it straight from the horses mouth. He's right. Build the engine and make sure to use a reputable place. I've seen scary things done to rotary engines in the name of speed. You can make a sweet engine and complete drive train set up with 10Gs.
