On rx7club you can find a good running t2 block for less than 500-
just cause you have a sb just chilling doesn't mean its going to be cheaper it usually means you are going to be in the for sale adds in a month with a t2 rolling frame with mounted sb haha

if i got as far as to mount the small block i don't think i would sell it. that would be the hardest part of the swap. and i don't think i will have a problem getting a carbed sbc with a t5 tranny to work in the car. i have read many times that the t5 mounts very colse to stock, with the shifter coming up through the original shifter hole.

i forgot to mention that i have the engine and tranny already. (my brother is giving me these as he is the one that blew my motor) And i am sorry but if i spend $1000 getting this to work it will be a much better investment than rebuilding as i will have more hp and torque for the same money spent. just makes sense to me. and my brother can build one hell of a v8. he built a 300 hp 283 for a friends mudtruck and it is insane.
