LS1 swap
OK... without getting into stupid details... he is not selling the vert. it is not feasible. It WONT be cheaper for him to buy one already swaped. Thats the bottom line.... just accept it.
The ls1 is coming out of a friends car, thus the he already has the engine, at a very good price i might add. The only thing he needs to find now is a transmission.... so the price for the engine and trans and cut it in half.
I aggree with the oiling issues on the ls1, and that a newer lsx engine would be better, however, he has no intention of tracking the car, and probably wont drag it much either....So living at high rpms isnt really an issue. and like previously stated he already has a great line on a well behaved ls1 for an unreasonably low price.
And landon... just curious, but how did TBROC go to hell in a handbag when one member is planning a v8 swap? theres still quite a few of us with triangles and a few of us that are/have built our own triangles.

ahem, it costs almost a bare minimum of around 10k to ls1 swap an rx7, and that is honestly bare minimum, I personally know someone who did it all by themselves and it cost them 10k AFTER selling their 13b-rew set up, it is NOT a drop in engine AT ALL you will have to either custom fab a subframe or buy one, you will have to re-wire everything, you will have to make motor mounts, go with a different oil pump set up (I think), custom made drive shaft, you will want a new diff. because the n/a fc won't handle that torque, you will have to re-work the steering rack unless you want to have ridiculous bump steering problems... Please trust me on this, if you decide to try and wing this shit, it's not gonna work worth a damn and you will just end up ruining a perfectly good 7, Matt's FC is clean as hell, not worth fucking up if you aren't going to do it right...
