I was wondering if anyone on here had ever done anything like this? Although the car I'm talking about is not a nissan (RX7) I figured you guys would be some of the more knowledgeable people on this subject as you guys usually use the clips for the swaps, and readidly do RHD conversions and such- something that I have yet to see in the Mazda world.

What I'm asking is basically if you can get a good enough clip, can it be mated to a US shell? That way you get the j-spec engine swap and RHD converison done at one time (not to mention the front end conversion)

you could but the frame would be extremely weak i would think. thats if you're talkin about cutting out the US clip and welding in the JDM one. be better to do it right and swtich everything over. for RHD you would have to cut out the firewall then weld in the firewall fromt he JDM clip.
