I put a 12A into a 1977 TR7 way back in 1982. What a fun car to drive, only weighed ~2200 Lbs. I used a Holley 425CFM with the secondaries wired shut and the oil injection removed. I nixed 1000:1 Amsoil 2-Stroke oil in the gas tank every time I filled up (1.75 oz of oil to 16 Gal of gas). I called it a TRX73. The engine was new from Mazda using the factory trade-in program from a 1973 RX3. I groung all of the original motor mounts from the TR7 and attached a couple of 1/8" aluminum plates over the crossmember. then used two 6X6X1/4" steel plates to mount the engine, one on the crossmember and the other on the face of the engine. I used the original automatic transmission for the RX3 and mated the two drivelines to make a 22" driveline.Mounted the kickdown switch under the gas pedal and away we go!

Rob, love the enthusiasm and the fact you're "reverse LS swapping" a rotary into the Corvette... but the LS6 made 385hp stock. Not saying that's unachievable with what you've done in the past, but getting to 500hp or 600hp is far easier and cheaper with a LS (while still NA). Regardless, it's fun to watch this unfold. Wish you did go 3 rotor for shiggles, though.

of course, and I am sure Rob knows that. For most people budget is the single most important factor for people. I think it's obviously this build is just for the laffs. He's stirring up shit creating something controversial and making people butthurt. My perspective on the power argument is that I really never see people build the LS they swap into RX7s, let alone put a turbo on it. They are always near stock.

That right frame rail is fkd. You need to get the frame straight before even thinking about measuring for the motor. That right rail really needs to be replaced. You can section it in under the middle of the rocker panel. You will need to replace the FG rocker, apron, and the floor under the seat as they are bonded in. There's really no good way to anchor these corvettes down to pull them properly so rail replacement is almost mandatory. The anchors they sell will still rip the frame when pulling pressure is applied. The anchor points are only riveted plates to the rail under the car. Good luck.

It's exciting to see. A new box section cross member with thought as to how to get the engine mounts on there would work, assuming you aren't able to just chop a chunk out of the existing cross member.

It's exciting to see. I know some aftermarket transaxles and gearboxes can accept different shaft heights (ie Albins), I'd assume that's also expensive and would then raise other problem. A new box section cross member with thought as to how to get the engine mounts on there too is the correct solution though, assuming you aren't able to just chop a chunk out of the existing cross member.

Put an aluminum fabbed trunk in the front for storage and weight distribution. Possibly space tire? Corvettes lack space to put shit in. I cant wait to see the finished product. You have room up there for all sorts of performance gear as well.
