Lookin' good!

 

It's amazing what a coat of paint can turn a rotary into!

 

I hate it!!

But it does look like your doing it right, so...

 

Eeeee-like a glove!

 

LOOOKIN GOOD!!!!!!!



So, how much HP is the 302 gonna push out?


Tell me whatcha run.. on a GOOOD run in the 1/4 at a track....when you are through......



DAMN..... so what are you doin for exhaust? What about the rearend? automatic? T-5? engine specs? I am just curious... sorry......... its lookin DAMN good..... Hopefully my brother's 302 he is buildin for his mustang is goin to be lookin good..... but it doesnt look like it will be finished for some time now... hahaha.... well.... I would like to hear more about your project, cause I havent really payed much attention to the process of it.....



Oh... and to all you of you "rotor ONLY" peoples...... I am sorry for waistin your time from readin this


LATERZ, Andrew

 

your sick in the head!!!! what waste of a good body!!!!

 

but i guess that i have to say it looks good for what it is! a big dirty v8!

 

I have an engine bay just like that



well almost

 

Darn shame...but now that you've committed the heresy, let us know the slalom times and skid pad numbers, so we'll finally know the truth about what the extra weight means in a handling penalty, if any exists. And please, chuck the hokey chrome air cleaner. Get a carbon fiber...wait a minnit...get the ram-air set-up from a repro source and then mod the hood for a shaker scoop...oh, yesss, the people will flee in terror!!

 

i like ford in a mustang not in a rx7. i think rx7 is ment to be for rotary engine. but my opinion of you car is looking good. need some ford motorsport valve covers.

 

not bad. ya know, at first the thought ov a v8 in an rx7 made me sick. but I got thinking about it, and I wondered "why? why do all of us think its so bad" Why do all of us thinks its dumb? Is it because the "r" in rx7 stands for rotary? is it because it's a sports car? why? I mean, it's somewhat similar to Carol Shelby taking a ford V8 and putting it in a Cobra, which started out as a little British sportscar, and look how popular it is. I'm warming up to the idea of a v8 in a FB. That is, if the car doesn't have an engine to begin with. I think taking a perfectly running rx7 and doing this swap is wrong, there are so few stock FB's left. But still i think a V8 in a Fb isn't that bad. Don't wanna start trouble with anyone, it's just my $.02

 

Yeah you don't see people saying ol' Shel ruined the AC Ace by putting a big heavy V8 in there, do you?

I think the V8 conversions are kinda neat, like a poor man's Cobra Daytona. Plus it means more 12A cores in circulation

 

yep, I still don't know about the whole weight issue, but I'd do it if I had the time and money too, be a cool sleeper. rumble up to some Camaro and blow his doors off

 

*sigh*Now wouldn't it be more fun to do that with a rotary?

 

There's no such thing as a sleeper rotary. Either it's slow or it's loud!

 

You could've at least put a mazda engine in it. This is heresy. I will not endorse this in any way! This sucks! Why didnt you just get a 5.0. It would have saved you all the trouble. I'm going to start crying now, you damn bastard! Why did i have to read this post?!

My eyes! WHYYYYYY!!! OH GOD WHHHYYYY?!?!?!?!

 

i apologize for the previous post.....NO I DON'T!!!!

MY EYES NOOOO!!! OH GOD NOOOOO!

 

I'll just think of it as a photoshop picture so I can sleep at night without nightmares

 

My reaction was kinda funny... First it loaded a strip from the top of the pic, So I saw the engine bay.

Okay, I'm going to see a nicely cleaned engine bay with a partially installed engine.

Then I see the chromed air cleaner.

Okay, I'm going to see a nicely cleaned engine bay with a partially installed, modded engine.

Then I saw the Right valve cover and top part of the distributor.

Okay... Wait... That dizzy is in the wrong place and has too many connections... Oh no. It's a V8 Conversion.

After it loaded all the way, I can honestly say I'm impressed. It looks like a clean install and hopefully it'll turn out to be a fine drag racing machine.

Just wait'll I rebuild my RX-7, with the 12A. I know of the perfect road to race on.

Terribly (Most excellently) windy with thick trees and a ditch on both sides. Took that bastard at 70, straight over the double yellows late at night. Speed limit is 40.

I hope you didn't scrap a prefectly running spinner for that boinger though.

 

Drag racing? That would be sweet for road racing

 

I plan on both.

YES! Got some?

I know, its temporary, I want . . oh what you call it.... one of those mesh triangular ones. Shaker would be sweet!

Should be at least 300.
Engine from a 69 mustang totally rebuilt
Pistons, Rods, larger valves, cam, shorty headers, ported heads, bored 30 over, Edelbrock Performer intake, Holley 650 4bbl carb, I forget, maybe bumped up compression. T-5 from 88 GT, heavy duty clutch, stock rear for now. Single 3 inch to a Dynomax ultra flow should looks like a fart can . . .. or so unsuspecting victims will think

 

Maybe you should've got a heavy-*** Pontiac 350. Fulper just coaxed a roller-camm'd, Eddie-headed 350 into 540 HP NA territory...I mean if you're gonna use a V8, you might as well use one with guts...

 

And before any nimrod goes off about the distributor being in the wrong place, that's why you'd use the MSD crank trigger...

 

I know someone who had a 306 (just a 302 with a .030 cleanup overbore) running 10's in a heavy GT convertible... no spray, no forced induction, passes smog, shift points that would make most rotaries wince... Now imagine that in a chassis that weighs 2/3rds as much...
