FB RX-7 Compatability with AE86
I've asked questions about the FB and how compatible it would be with the hachi parts-wise, and gotten a different range of answers; from "I dunno" to, "Why?", to "yeah, but not really." I'm really considering buying blacktop when my parents get their tax return, unless, that is...

There has been an FB RX-7 sitting in my backyard since I can remember being alive. Literally. I'm 16 and my dad parked it when I was 1 because of a busted alternator belt and the insurance was too high... But now it's pretty much a total loss. Unless I get a parts car with a good body, electronics and interior then it's pretty much going to be wasted and go to the scrapyard... or to someone who can fix it. Unless, that is, I can use some of the parts on my SR5 hachi and sell the rest =)

I'd like to know if anyone knows things on the RX-7 that would be compatible with my hachi. Like, If I dropped the 13B in the 86, would the tranny and rearend from the FB fit well? How far off would the motor mounts for the 13B be form the mounts on the 86 and how hard is it really to fab mounts? Driveshaft? What kind of tranny does the FB have anyway? The 13B is mounted "front midship", how would that affect stuff like shifter placement If I had to use a different tranny?

I have alot of questions but mainly I'd like some people just to tell me of some things they've heard fit on the 86. Or things on the FB that sell for a good price... like.. how much money could I get for a carbed 13B with only 68k miles? heheh

Thanks in advance.
