Default motor is shot in the FD...what next?

some of u may know that i picked up another 3rd gen RX7. I had temp issues for the past 2 weeks...anyways after replacing numerous parts, i think the coolant seal went bad, which means i need a rebuild or new motor, go figure. im gonna flush the oil today to if i have water/coolant mixed into the motor oil.

anyways im in a sitauation where that motor is most likey coming out and i want some opinions on what motor i should put back in. choices are another stock motor (then just build the bad motor), a built/ported motor, or a just go ahead and do the LS1 swap. i cant make my mind up. the LS1 is most expensive to do right now but it will save me so much money and headache in the long run. also i havent ruled out the 3 rotor comso motor!

also if anyone knows anyone local thats real good at building/porting rotarys let me know.

thx-
Jeremy

LS1 bitch.

It shouldn't be a question. Ill buy it from you in a year when you want to get rid of it too.

Talk to Josh. He wanted to do one at the shop hes just looking for someone to bring the project to him. Im sure he will cut you a deal.

NA 3 rotor. I tried to tell Derrick but for some reason he still wants an RX-7 that sounds like a water buffalo giving birth.

If you plan on keeping the car for more than a year, got with LS1 so you don't make another one of these threads again when you put another rotary in there.

Are there even any local shops that do rotary?
