Talking Anyone with a 1st Gen V8 RX-7 want to TRADE up to a 2nd Gen V8 Vert?

I know this is kind of a long shot, but does anyone with a 1st Gen V8 RX-7 wanna trade up to a 2nd Gen V8 Vert? I want a race car more than a chick magnet. Basically your car + cash for my V8 Vert. If you want to keep your engine/tranny and do a body trade that might be cool too. E-mail or PM me if you are interested. Some specs below:

1988 RX-7 Convertible
Red exterior/Gray Leather Interior
Mustang GT 17x8 +30mm wheels
235/40/17 front & 245/45/17 rear
TurboII scoop hood
Granny's kit
2.5" dual exhaust with good mufflers

383CI SBC 6.2L
2 years on rebuild
stock iron Chevy Heads
Performer RPM Intake
Holley Street Avenger 670CFM carb
MSD 6AL/SS Coil/Distributor
261HP & 338.6ft-lbs dyno-tested to the wheels

T-5 5speed tranny
stock clutch

KYB AGX Adjustable Struts
Crossdrilled & Slotted Rotors
Hawk HPS pads
Steelbraided Brake lines

Things needed:
Top has rips...I have a nice top I'll throw in
Tires need done soon
AC...I have the compressor and bracket but it's not on

Why do you think going to an FC would be trading up? Nice looking car though...

Or why would you think going to a V8 is trading up?

I rather stay with my 12A and make the same or more HP..That whats makes RX7s unique..

They're looking for a V8 FB in trade for their V8 FC. The only place they'd be "going" is to a different body style.

Actually it is a Mitsubishi Starion Turbo. There are a total of 6 in that driveway and garage. My roommate is a Starion nut!

Nevermind the torque, how the hell is he going to get 260+RWHP from a 12a?
May be possable with tons of $$$$ but you ain't gonna be driveing it every day like you can with the V8.

BTW. I've seen this car in person. He did a nice job on it.

People who put V-8s in RX-7s are like people who punch babies when they cry too much.
