Automatic T-350, mostly because its alot cheaper then say a t-5 or t-56. Plus then I can use my sweet *** B&M Hammer shifter.

The tII rear will have the 5 lug conversion. you just need tII front rotors, calipers, hubs and such. oh yeah and an rx7 tranny won't work with the 350. http://www.grannysspeedshop.com/ has all kinds of info on that conversion. including custom parts

Oh yeah, the tracking thing where it pulls to the right is due to the powersteering setups, I dont have ac or power steering heh. The T-350 WILL work, granny's doesnt recommend it for street cars, because on the highway the rpms are to high, gets really annoying blah blah.

Every one of those cars around here that the owner said was blown, it turned out to be either the apex seals(actually blown) or more often it was the fuel pump.(easy cheap fix)

The T-350 will definately work, its the easiest way to go, but the tII will probably have 4.11's and with no overdrive will have shitty top end. but killer launches. a 700r4 is a little harder to hook up, but you can keep the 4.11's and still have decent top speed and gas mileage.
