Tommy,
I know this is a bit late in coming, but I had to find the info on this. If
you are going to go through with the RX7 swap, I think, and therefore I am,
you should consider using the RX7 rear end as well. Since you going to up
the HP by so much, the stock rear probably won't last long. From what I
understand, it's not TOO difficult.
Here's a link to a great web site of someone that used to be on the list,
and was around to see wome one do this conversion.

Then click on the Auto-X link, and it will pull up pictures from a tech
session they had that did this mod.
Good luck either way you go.
