I can't wait to start her up..... so much left to do still.
But at least we are done with teardown phase. |
good luck with the project. Hope you get it running!
|
Went shopping today - buying mo-stuff Monday; and interior should be here then too.
|
Found our hood solution..... with chrome side pipes and red cherry bomb exhuast.

I like the look of that engine!
However, can you call a C3 a Stingray? Aren't they C2s? |
I am not a Corvette Expert - the VIN came up as a Stingray.... :dunno:
Does it matter to me???? Not really.... |
love this thread!
|
Got all the interior in the mail today minus the seats.....

Taj, you are doing WHAT? Why not get a 7MGE crate motor from japan for 600.00 and do a swap. You can get them out of Denver I think. Go to the supra forums, and I'm sure there's a website somewhere. My son has my old one with less than 40K miles on it. The car has 120K I think. The only thing you really have to worry about with Supra's are head gaskets blowing.
I know I know, rotaries don't have them surprisingly, 7m engines love to blow their head gaskets and ever seen "oil in sparkplug wells?" that too I go to the supra forums, but they are not like you guys and dont really like rx8s or 7s very much either. and I read your post and just found the head gasket part and I won't re-edit my post cus I'm lazy like that besides, I already have an REW in my house anyways, so might as well no? /end thread jack Kane! how's the build going!!! :) |

I really wanted to do an LS1 as well; but $$$ wasn't there; espeically when you add in the ECU et-al needed. So this one is more of a budget build and less of a drag monster.... but still 400+ Hp in a street car isn't so bad! |
Interior is almost all in the mail or at my house; awaiting Dynamat and the weekend... let's hope.
|
sweet... I can't wait to see some pics!!

This weekend should have some real good pics to load...
Just test fitting on Friday Night. https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1226176338 https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1226176338 |
Baddass. That thing is going to be beastly. I still can't comprehend how long that hood opening is.
|
You mean what we have to cut or the total?
But the length of the car does kinda dwarf the 350 huh... crazy. But it all sits behind the front wheels - so +1 for handling. |
