If your looking I got a 3.8 SUPERCHARGED ford motor out of a super coupe. It has been reringed and has a newer supercharger on it, just needs finish put back together, even have an AOD for it. I just went with a HO 302 and a TCI C4.

A rotary is a easy swap! tranny bolts right in all you need to is make engine mounts modify oil pan or front crossmember. The stock drive shaft even works with no mods, slid the truck yoke into the RX7 tranny.That all depends on the rotary you choose...

just so you know, the rotary WILL NOT BOLT UP to the 2600i tranny. you will have to get a b2000/b2200 tranny, and driveshaft.

other than that he is right.

no, it wont bolt up to the 2200 tranny either, you have to switch bellhousings.

yeah, but the 2000/2200 bellhousings have a differant bolt pattern than the 2600 and the 2600i, so you HAVE to get a 2000/2200 tranny to swap the bellhousing onto, along with the driveshaft.

no, you switch the RX7 bellhousing to the B2200 truck trans. The rotary motor has a unique bellhousing pattern because of its shape.

You can use the RX trans and it will take the truck driveshaft yoke, but the shifter will be between the seats.


Most guys THINK the B2000/B2200 trans will bolt up because the clutch parts and slave cylinder interchange. That is just the clutch and slave cylinder though, the trans have different bellhousings and need to be switched.
