This is about all you can see of the RX8 engine.
It is not going to be easy to change the plugs from the
top as the engine is mounted about 2-1/2 inches lower
in the chassis. The back half is under the dash.
They should have put it in the trunk :-)

That looks like  an  AN-16 fitting coming  off the radiator!

Does anyone know if Tracy's redrive, intake flange and EC computer will work for this new engine?

To get the kind of power and RPM this engine is capable of you will need a 
2.85:1 version of Tracy redrive. Right now all he offers is
a 2.17:1 version.
