I've seen or known many a people who swapped out V-8's into many a foreign job.
I have a buddy that did one in a earlier model RX-7 and also a 260Z.
Jags that run has everything you need which was alot easier than whay he went through.

I just need something different lol. My 83 s10 is a sound truck but doing 140 plus mph is pushing my fear button lol. I plan on Boosting here shortly as well so I will only be getting faster lol. I will most likely go to a car but I enjoy the Weight to horsepower ratio I have and don't want to change it. I see a bunch of sec gen Rx7s on craigslist so pretty cheap so I'm thinking that will be the direction I head.

You will be much safer in the car due to the aerodynamics, lower lift ratio, and the center of gravity.
Get the rx7. Just make sure you put some decent shocks, springs, tires and suspension under it before you start doing 140. Potholes can send you airborn at that speed.
