Yeah, a swap like that defeats the purpose of buying an RX-7 in the beginning since half the novelty is having that Wankel rotary. I mean, what other 1.3L engines can put out over 200hp? Another bad engine swap idea is swapping a Toyota 2jz into a Honda or Nissan. It's like sleeping with the enemy.
