It would break my heart to LS swap one of these though, whatever about keeping it JDM and squeezing in a 2JZ... I feel like losing the rotary just wouldn't be an RX-7 anymore.
In fact if they're as rust-prone as that it might be a better course of action to buy a basket case and start from scratch for a good one?
Anyone have a good recommendation for somewhere to learn more about them? Good YouTube links or forums?

Yep, total money pit. They had little or no rust protection from new, and while the rotary engines don't entirely deserve their reputation for unreliability it'd be a rare one that won't need some rotor tip work at some point. Beautiful cars though, and an LSx engine can be squeezed into them.
