The dude put a lot of work into it. I think the most interesting thing is that he used an engine from a Silverado. Usually swaps like that are done with a vette or camaro engine.
Also, if you read the last line, it doesn't pass Cali smog tests.

$7,500 is a steal for this car. I would think about picking it up if I was closer.

some people also use reversed truck manifolds since they're cheap. Actually..... just searched through his mod list and that is what he used.
and if he used an LS1 or any other aluminum block LSx it wouldn't have been much heavier than the 13B.... usually the weight gain from these swaps is from the huge ass T56. and there are people who have fit an LS1 into an S2000 before

That RX7 is totally awesome although is the turbo really necessary? Maybe just for fun, why not. 
However, I do hope the builder of that car isn't under the illusion that he can just buy his way into making that car Cal smog legal. The only way to do that is to drop the original rotary back in. Any smog ref here in the Golden State would dropkick that custom build so high into the sky it would break the earth's gravity and start orbiting the moon.
