V8 count
 
I'm curious... just how many V8 conversions are on this board? And I'd like to complement everyone about the respect given to those of us who have "confessed" to "committing a sacreligious act". I used to get flamed quite regularly, but everyone seems to have mellowed.

I have a Chevy V8 conversion with a T-5 transmission.

I too would like to thank everyone on the board for being accepting of our alternitive life style :)

i was seriously considering doing it, as i have a pretty spare small block lying around, but the rotary intrigued me too much, and i already have one car that drinks gasoline the way liquor was consumed at last night's party! :cool:

i'm a violent opposer of the V8 swap. although i have nothing against V8's, i believe that a swap destroy's what makes the 7 so special. rotaries forever, man! use a Datsun 280Z if you want to swap a V8 in an import so fuckin badly.

Hey Randy not a bad looking set up you have there. I like the radiator over flow:cool: :D

Same Reason people put V8's in FB's. Less complication, Lessheadaches, and less money.

I do like the RB26DETT myself though.RB26DETT in a 240Z though.

It keeps it's Nissan Roots. :cool:
