Local shop said exactly this when giving a reason for the success and popularity of all the RX7/LS swaps they've done. He said there's lots of room making it physically easy to do, and the electronics are a no-brainer. The customer leaves the shop feeling like they got a good value and the shop makes money.

FM currently has two cars in the shop getting LSx swaps, and both of them will require A/C. So we may have a solution to that problem in the next couple months.
