I'd really like to put this engine in an 2g rx7 or rx8. Actually a sportage engine. There doesn't seem to be too much info posted about this swap. Hopefully somone has some more input on this?

Things I've heard work are :
B2000 bell housing removed and installed on a t2 trans.
Simone else told me they don't have removable bells.

Sportage rwd trans.don't know length or strength.

929 trans. Again just hear say.

If you guys have some experience with any of these please post up. Thanks!

HEAPS of info on this stuff. sportage and b2000 utes in USA and most other places do not have a bell housing, it's part of the tunnel of the box.

B2200 injected have the same trans as the TurboII RX7, but the input shaft length is much less, won't work without special clutch setup or something.

Late FD and RX8 trans have a longer input shaft, but still not as long as the B2200. I have a bunch of parts to combine here, but have not started on that project, yet.

If you're not going to boost it, any will be fine. If you are, the smaller box won't last at all.
