I almost fell on the floor from laughing. Man, I order to put a big block Chevy in the Rx, it will require to be matted properly with the right tranny and diff. To do this will require a lot and I mean a lot of "fabrication". Even Jesse James will have issues. You have been watching to many episodes of Monster Garage. By the way, the 8 does not have power steering, it is electrically assisted so I do not know what parts you are actually taking out of the engine bay. SEEING is BELIEVING. Show pics.

Considering his "engine" pic has a white paint part in the top, and doesnt look ANYTHING like a rx-8, I thought it would be easy to figure out.
Not to mention he was asking what a cart engine mount was in another post.

Nothin wrong with what Mike did with his Civic... he did what HE liked, and pretty tastefully too. Take it easy there bud - no reason to start that again.
I too like the idea of a V8 in an '8, but I think this is prolly BS too. Love to see independant confirmation...

Careful, I bite!
Removed rear and passenger seats - how does this affect 50/50/weight distribution, especially left-right with the seat gone from the right side but present on the left?

The first mechanical mod I made was taking out the cat last month...this past weekend we finally replaced the engine.
I'll post pics soon.

Either you or not for the environment or are a hypocrite?

All you guys are sure having a hard time taking a joke.. C'mon, Why bother with a puny V8 swap, when you can drop in a Viper 8 Liter V10.. Now, that'll twist those tires..

Not to worry, my politically savvy friend. All the materials I removed have gone to great environmentally friendly use. I have a small farm which includes one cow among some other farm animals. Cows produce an enormous amount of methane in their flatulence - I hooked the catalytic converter up to my cows rectum to reduce some of the harmful emissions. As for the old rotary engine - I modified it to run cleanly on vegetable oil, and it's now powering my tractor which I use to plow my fields of organic produce. This is the smoothest running tractor you can imagine, with a 9,000k redline no less!!
