View Full Version : Not your average Rx-7 Ike 10-13-2003, 11:28 PM http://www.autotrader.com/findacar/vdetail.jtmpl?car_id=80707343&dealer_id=1361098&car_year=1986&make=MAZDA&distance=300&max_price=20000&model=RX7&end_year=1992&advcd_on=n&min_price=0&address=60202&search_type=used&advanced=n&start_year=1986&color=&cardist=5 Me likey! Red Devil 10-14-2003, 10:10 AM I'm sure it's extremely fast, but that's just plain wrong. Putting a piston engine in any RX brand Mazda is sacrilege. I've seen 350 small blocks in FC's also. Rick 10-14-2003, 11:38 AM I would not buy it. I would like to see it burning donuts at an auto-x:) wakeech 10-14-2003, 03:31 PM meh, engine conversions into RX-7's are only complimentary to the platform (likewise with other engines in Miatas)... truth be told, you CAN get more power cheaper through a piston engine, 'cause they're cheaper for the displacement (like, 7.2L V8's are cheaper than 4 rotors, for example) so it's understandable that people wanna ditch 'em. anyways, personally, although the GN engine is pretty nice, i'd still rather see the LS-1 in the ol' FC :D (do those fit??) rxevolve10 10-14-2003, 05:55 PM Yeah LS-1 will fit. There is a guy in Evansville, IN that has one. I am pretty sure there is a couple he built running around the area. CraziFuzzy 10-14-2003, 06:07 PM once had a 72 super beetle with a 66 vette 327 in it... i wouldn't call it blasphemy, even though it wasn't air cooled.. :-) Ike 10-14-2003, 06:20 PM Originally posted by wakeech meh, engine conversions into RX-7's are only complimentary to the platform (likewise with other engines in Miatas)... truth be told, you CAN get more power cheaper through a piston engine, 'cause they're cheaper for the displacement (like, 7.2L V8's are cheaper than 4 rotors, for example) so it's understandable that people wanna ditch 'em. anyways, personally, although the GN engine is pretty nice, i'd still rather see the LS-1 in the ol' FC :D (do those fit??) However, that GN engine is probably about the best bang for the buck you can get, it's very cheap to make the GN an 11 second car. It's also tough as nails, though an LS-1 would be fun as well :D 1 BAD TIB 10-14-2003, 06:47 PM I bet that thing is a beast mikeb 10-14-2003, 08:23 PM crazy VividRacing.com 10-15-2003, 02:11 AM Crazy what some people will do. Kind of like that Dodge motercycle with the Viper engine, and 4 wheels. mikeb 10-15-2003, 02:36 AM the tomahawk its like 250,000 Ike 10-15-2003, 03:51 AM I have a Video of a 1000hp GN on a dyno soemwhere, I'll get it up tomorrow Ike mikeb 10-15-2003, 06:01 PM did you get it ike |
