Read the sticky on the top of the forum. There is a lot of information on rx'7s in general and it should answer your question.

That is all the technical information. I am looking for opinions on what is the better motor. I am in the market for a 1st gen and want to find out some peoples opinions on what they like. What is more reliable, better on gas, etc..., etc...? I want a stock one I will not be doing any modifications if that helps you guys at all on answering my questions.

They're all pretty much only as reliable as you are, and all bad on gas

Carburerated V8 so you don't have to deal with all the wiring and fuel management.
