Anything is possible, but not cheap!

No kidding, i spent $700 for the block of aluminum used to cut the trans spacer.

Along with machine and setup time, it would cost someone over $1700

I had to notch the bottom for the 4" exhaust.

I welded 1/8" chromoly plate into the floor on the top side for strength.

The curved piece is a heat shield for the trans mount near the exhaust!

Now i have to find the right size bolts!
Sorry for the misunderstanding. But i was referring to the one in the pics above.

If you can make me plss shoot me a price.

Thanks

sorry, that piece is way too much of a custom fitment. I would believe it would be best to build it to fit the car. Unless your trans is spaced exactly as mine back from the motor and your exhaust is in the same place.

Its exactly the same set up t56 trany with auto bell housing. The tranny sits in the same place as yours.

I bought the extra flywheel from you ...

I'm not at home right now so i cannot measure the adapter. My adapter is nothing like yours its just a adapter plate.
When i get home on Friday i will measure the trany from the face of the bell housing to the trany rubber mount. That should be just pretty close to the same lenght your trany is.
Will see.
Thanks

Well i got a chance to measure the trans length to the trans mount center.

Its 27 3/4 inch long.

Let me know if you might be able to make me one.

Thanks

Whatever happened with this build? I saw that the motor was posted for sale last week - I guess the project got aborted.

The motor built for this project never ran, right?

running a retail store, i have almost no time to devote to this project.

Although i would love to abandon this project, i have way too much money tied up to do that.

The motor for sale was never started and it is still for sale!

I have a motor from Rotary xtreme (australlia) custom made from new parts with his trick chromoly centric shaft and stud kit / thus the reason for selling my first 20B which was fully built from Ramone Velez in NJ.

If i could just get my intake manifold machined, i would get back on this project / I promise

Alex, if you are listening in, please hurry up............I am getting older and the car is starting to be outdated

we just started building a 2009 f350 with 15" kelderman air lift with fully chromed and powder coated suspension and a custom airbrushed paint job to pull our car hauler around to the shows so i wont have much time over the next 3 to 4 weeks to get much done on the car however i was told this tid bit of good news...................

I have a new machine shop working on my intake manifold which is what i have been waiting on and i am being told that the total job, start to finish will only take two weeks to complete.

This has been one of our hurdles and what has pretty much taken me off the project from about two years ago.

As soon as i get the intake in my hand, i will send some good pics before i assemble it.

Then, a couple weeks after, i will be dedicating my life to getting the RX7 running.

It is also scheduled to go in for paint in August.

Thanks for all the interest, i know the 3 rotor guys are getting few and far inbetween and i have every intention on finishing this project as soon as possible. May not by 100% until early next summer as i will need the winter months to complete but i would like to get it running and in paint before the years end.

If anyone knows of someone interested in buying my spare built 20B, it could help me pay for the new intake manifold, please keep me in mind.

just left the machine shop and put down a deposit. I guess i spoke to soon, i will not have the intake pieces for at least 4 weeks according to the machine shop.

I have a hogans intake for sale cheap if anyone is interested. I paid over $5k for it with the polish work and would take half that for it!

I also have a built 20B for sale with all new internals and rotor housings! Race ported. Custom made aluminum oil pan, will let it go for $10k with the intake and oil pan! Over $18k invested!
