http://www.ls1tech.com has a good classified section, and there are several people on there with rx7 swaps than can give you information.

Alright i found a 96 5.7 liter V8 out of a chevy caprice for 1600$ a few miles from me i think im going to pick up. Its weird to think that i can pick that size motor up for that price, when b16's can be found for that price.

I don't know the actual code, but it is an LT1-based gen II with iron heads rated at 260hp/330tq.

330 pounds of torque should be enough to get that rx7 moving. The rotary in it now feels like my grandmother and her walker fully equipped with tennis ***** move quicker.

Oh, it should be plenty, but just throwing on some used aluminum corvette heads and long tube headers will really wake it up. Maybe throw a cam in there too.

That's the great thing about american iron, upgrades are usually cheaper than for imports and tend to do more.
