talk about the bastardization of a car...

 

[Liquidblaze]

I guess he didn't like working on those damn rotary motors

 

[E_SolSi]

I feel confident that its a mid 14sec car in the 1/4 mile.

thats really sad ... dumbass could have hit mid 14s with the engine that was in there for less money than putting that heavy ass V8 in there cost....

 

[gohondago]

ACtually the 350 doenst add much weight and can make the rx7 go through the 1/4 a lot fatser thatn the rotory

 

[asmallsol]

plus he put in an automatic

 

[E_SolSi]

im gunna have to disagree on the weight thing ... i work with them all the time ... my friend has about 15 of them ... its a 1.3l engine its light as fuck ... you cant tell me a 5.0l doesnt weigh much more than a 1.3l

 

[Liquidblaze]

v8 block weighs problaby almost double that of the rx7 original block.

1. Automatics are better for drag when built properly
2. Someone out there built a bolt-in Chevy V8 block engine cradle for the RX-7
3. It's not that expensive
4. I want one

A guy I know did the 350 in a late 80s something RX7...he says it hauls major ass. This guy also has a riding lawnmower powered a 750cc honda motorcycle engine Funny thing is, he's supposed to be helping me with my swap!

 

[lsvtec]

I'd rather have the rotary engine.

 

[E_SolSi]

 

[cxjon]

me too

 

[dohcvtec_accord]

[sarcasm]I'd take the underengineered, prone-to-cracking-a-cylinder-head Chevy big block any day.[/sarcasm]

 

[bte15]

nope for me

 

[SixtySecondAssassin]

look how much room is left in the bay.

 

[Prowler]

Um, yeah, that's why I have an automatic. It's, uh, gonna be on the drag strip. Yeah.....

 

[phunky.buddha]

Actually, dropping a massaged and boosted LS1 or LS6 into an RX-7 is very appealing to me.

 

[posol]

dropping a skyline r34 gtr on my front dorr is pretty appealing to me too

 

[SixtySecondAssassin]

i used to be real into those scarabs (240z's with 350's stuffed in them)

 

[96prelude]

if one wants a v8 get a camaro or somthing domestic, don't screw with a good car like that. that is one less rx7 in the world.
