Trying to find a full 13b turbo driveline for SWMBO's rx7. Any idea where to look?

its gonna be tough to find a full driveline in one place. In this case, you may need to piece it together.

When I did my swap, I found a transmission in one place, and the complete takeout engine fully dressed in another place.

I never had an issue with the NA rearend so I left it in the car and had the turbo driveshaft flange machined to bolt to the NA rearend.

Buy a whole car not running and pull what you need, sell the rest to a guy that wants to do a V-8 conversion.

The problem is that these are rare to find complete anymore. If you do find one, it is likely easier to fix what is wrong with the car than it is to swap everything over to your car.

Essentially you are looking for either a badly wrecked Turbo II OR a rusted complete Turbo II OR somebody that is swapping the drivetrain out of the car. What are the chances that the drivetrain is still good?

It will be difficult.

Mazda605 has a rusty low mileage black one in his back yard right next to the Repu with no driveline. You buy the RX7 and I'll buy the Repu and do a V8 swap.

You'll need to log in to post.
