    Naturally Aspired vs Forced Induction:
    This is easy, its like a handjob vs a blowjob.
    The handjob you can give yourself so its cheap and easy.
    The blowjob might cost you more, but the end result is much better.

    Crown: there are blown rx7's all all over the place. In my search I've found they are more common than running ones Try rx7club.com , ebay, autotrader, cars.com . Or did you want one that runs?

    Fire Hawk: good eye but no that corvette is not the donor car. I'm still looking for one.

    StreetSweeper: George, you no like domestic motors? Suprised since your dad is a fan. You got any better ideas? Please don't tell me the rotary is better than the ls1 . There are some supra rx7 swaps, that would be cool but i'm going after torque.

    ^ ditto to everything Drifte said. that was pretty quick work.

    you arent going to put any headers on it? not even a cam swap? you should get a aluminum clutch and flywheel kit; make that thing rev faster than your tach can read, hehehehe.

    Yea the motor is bone stock + a mail order tune that I had to get done anyway to remove the anti-theft so I can start it after the swap. Skip shift and emissions was taken care of in the tune also. The tune has been dyno tested to add 22whp on a stock setup.

    Only mods are intake, exhaust and tune. The TII also has a strong 4.10 rear end so thats kind of like a free mod that comes with the swap.

    Motor only has 50k miles so no need to rebuild it. Clutch should be ok for a while since the rx7 is like 700-800 pounds lighter than the fbody it came out of. Motor is also a 2002 so the exhaust manifolds flow pretty good for stock.

    I decided to get it running first before modding it too much. The expense and time of the swap itself is enough for me to deal with at once. And from what I hear , similar setups have been running low 12's to high 11's so that should be plenty fun for now!
