Horrified

I found this link

http://members.tripod.com/~grannys/2...ructions1.html

who would do such a thing. I'm new to RX7 and the rotory, but i'm shocked that after spending time on this forum that someone would even do such a thing.

Anybody that gets their panties in a wad over an engine swap is an idiot. It just means more spare motors for the rest of us!

PS - any "wrong" Granny's has done by selling swap kits is offset by this.

I just fell in love with the rotory... seems like a better solution to piston shitz... had 2 many things go wrong with piston cars. Seems easier to maintain this one.

lol, it's not a better solution to piston, it's just a different solution, there are definitly weaknesses to the rotary. Trust me, the world won't be any happier if everyone drove a rotary... =)

yeah, there is no right or wrong motor swaps, its just that, a swap. to each his own. heres mine:

5.0L motor being put in:

Over the engine shot(with me standing right next to my window wipers):

and a pic of my intake, all cleaned up and painted:


and dont worry Wodihor, it didnt mess up the handling. and its not nose heavy. infact check out how much wheel gap i have with the V8:

its just an awesome overall swap. very easy to do to. prolly easier than a 13BT swap. and a million times easier than a 20B.
