The car looks good, love the 2 tone. I'll have to give you credit for doing a 302 instead of a 350. What are you using for EMS? I have to say though the radiator location is very poor. Hope you don't catch a speed bump with it or anything

thanks for the compliments, im happy with the two tone although you can tell the paint was done by an amature = P. i didn't want to do a 350 like everyone else, however it would have been cheaper and ls1's are in my oponion a far better platform than what i am using. however i actually wanted this car for autocrossing and drifting as compared to drag. therefore i wasn't too worried about the extreme high output everyone else is looking for. Im using all stock electronics.... it was a pain getting everything working but it was definetly worth it.
i agree about the radiator placement, although it looks really low, i havn't had any issues. however i have no cooling issues...... plus i get the question, v8.... TURBO?!?!?! hahaha. and





oh yeah

i was afraid that that's what we'd see. to as long as you're happy with the car thats what matters. i respect the amount of time and effort that went into building the car but personally hate V8's in RX-7's. just my opinion.

Yeah I'd like to see pics of it mocked up too. Looks very interesting. Drifting would probably be super easy with that set up. Autocrossing might be a bit more difficult mainly due to traction issues. I do have to admire you though man, I would have flipped off all that wiring and threw it in the trash LOL

V8=NO!!! oh well, to each your own, nice restore any way! Like the two tone! every seven has a better paint job then mine
