These engines are awesome, I sold a healthy 12a at 11x,xxx to swap in a v8 which turned out was blown, the car is on it's 3rd motor because it took me 2 tries to get a ford 5.0 which wasn't blown into it. I'm a V8 RX7 guy, but you will never, ever hear me say anything about a small block rx7 being more reliable, because my car was 100 percent reliable before I started monkeying around with it.
