FB RX-7 Compatability with AE86

[TKD-Wolf]

I've never even taken an engine apart :\

Cutting the firewall/custom stuff is pretty much out of my league. The FB really isn't salvageable - the windsheild was busted out a few years ago by a neighbor and everything on the inside has all kinds of water and sun damage. Not to mention the rust which has eaten some parts of the car away so much that it's scary. I can see the carb through rust holes in the hood the size of baseballs and the hatch has a hole near the base that I can fit most of my hand in... But the engine itself has little to no corrosion/rust problems, just surface stuff and on things like alternator and belt pullies. I kept a trashbag over it when the rust holes started to get bad on the hood. I really wish I could restore the FB, I've wanted to for a long time now - but keep in mind im in highschool and only make about $300 a month. Any work on the engine that could be done would have to be done with the help of my uncle who lives 60miles away. I could get the hachi there no problem, but the FB hasn't moved in 15 years and I don't know of anyone with a truck that could haul my RX-7 there.

I really do wish I could fix the FB though. I was just wondering if there were any parts form the FB that would bolt on the 86 without problems. I was just dreaming about the 13B anyway - I didn't think that would work, or the tranny/rearend. Can't hurt to ask though, can it? lol

Now you guys are going to make me dream about rotary drifts again...
