You would need a 3rd gen (1994+) rx7 automatic tranny bellhousing and starter. If using tracy's redrive you might be able to make an adaptor plant to fit his redrive to that. Otherwise you will be missing a bolt or two to hold Tracy's plate to your engine as the automatic tranny bolt pattern is different as well than the standard trans bolt pattern.
