Ted and Max have a valid point, if the engine is bad, you can probably find a better RX7 elsewhere.

If the body is good (no rust on the underbody) then the car may be a good candidate for an engine swap (either a replacement NA rotary, Turbo Rotary or piston engine).

The difficulty depends on how mechanical you are.

A reasonably mechanical person should be able to replace the engine in an RX7 pretty easily (you will run into cracked vacuum lines, fuel line, etc.)

If you are the adventuresome type, get a copy of the FSM and rebuild the old engine (you can get used-but-good parts for cheap on eBay).
