Cheers for the advice guys.
Engine etc should be coming out this weekend, should have a much clearer idea of what needs to be done then.
Bart, I was hoping someone would say that about the air pump, the conclusion I came to initially was that it could all be removed but not knowing much
(if anything) about these engines - just that they get very hot - I wanted to be on the safe side. It was the "Never Remove Air Pump"
label on the top of it that had me really worried!!
As for the bonnet bulge, I think I may follow your advice on that, got to be safer than chopping sump and/or inlet manifold. However, I already have
my bonnet, and its fibreglass - guess I've got some more learnign to do as to how to go about adding a bulge to it, and making it look nice!!
Also, what do you mean by the front cover?
Bas, pics will be going up soon, I'll get some clearer pictures of the engine once its out. I'll have to have a good read through the
rx7club site.

Front cover? Front mount?
Hey Bart,
what do u mean by front mount?
As far as I know, there are no engine mounts connected to the front cover.
If I think of the 13B engine, it is connected to the subframe by two engine mounts connected to the housings.. and of course there are 6 bolts to the
transmission, which is not compatible with the 12A either.
What seems the best solution to me is to keep the whole subframe with enginemounts and suspension elements from FC (86-91) AND to keep all the FC
dimensions (distance between front and rear wheels...) as well.
With that done, u will be able to use FC cardan, tranny, engine etc from the FC
AND
anytime u find your car too slow, u can go Turbo without any changes to the chasis.

Well, 12A mounting is different than 13B and u COULD use 12A front cover on 13B engine....it fits ok

I may be wrong on this but my 13B has mount studs on the engine for a front mount on the front left hand side of the engine looking from the back
(i.e. opposite to exhaust side).
Bas, I promise I'll get some pics and measurements up soon. My digi cam is playing up and eating batteries!
