So my 06 rx8 has 150k+ miles and I want to swap engines. The mechanic at the Mazda dealership told me that I can put a 350z engine on an rx8 and they are willing to put it in. I found one for $3200 with 50k miles from a manual 2008 350z..My question is, do you have to do any modification to install this engine on a rx8?

Make them tell you a price and sign a contractual agreement and go for it bro. Drops right in...

I'm pretty sure it wont just drop in either there will probably be hell to pay for whomever thinks that but yea do what Arca ex said so they will be obligated to delivery and dont go over the agreed price.

If you don't think that swap is going to be problematic, I hope you have more dollars than sense.

You should check out this new thing called "Google."

An Isuzu engine would be much better .... and wrong forum too. You are a God.

Nice

Mr_Pieper

There are a bunch of swapped 8s running around in Pakistan because they don't have the experience or patience to deal with rotaries. Every one I've seen looks like it was installed in a hurry using a sawzall, though.

i like exploring the potential of OEM engines. I will be putting an LSx in my FC though. After my second 13bt I'm ready for a change

ok, where is this 1337 mazda tech who can do direct 350z swap? im really interested in putting 1zfe into the 8 , probably needa a little more work than a 350z swal but since this tech is so 1337, im sure he can do it, i got a few piggy banks that i have since i was five and im ready to break them!

Luckyboii69

so i guess it isn't possible or are here a lot of sarcastic *****? you can swap a 350z engine with a skyline r34 and a toyota cressida wagon with a toyota supra..why wouldnt be possible to swap a rx8 engine with a 350z?

shr3da

thought this post was pretty accurate

Luckyboii69
