454 s5 found on cl

I seen some chevy 350 swaps here and there but this is the first 454 s5 I have seen. Looks like nice work and the best part, the craigslist ad says it runs 9s quarters. Here is the desc. in the ad. Lots of work, seller wants 7500 for it.....
Id love to take it for a spin around the block, too bad its a few hundred miles away. Bet that thing pulls like crazy.

Its in NH if anyone is interested.

"1990 mazda rx7 WITH 454 BIG BLOCK CHEVY THE MOTOR IS FRESHLY REBUILT ROLLER CAM3200 STALL CONVERTER TURBO 350 TRANNY 8.8 REAR END 410 GEARS THE AR IS TUBBED WITH 29X 11.50 TIRES CAR IS CERTIFIED FOR 850S LADDER BACK HALF 15 GAL FUEL CELL FROT DISC BRAKES THE CAR RUNS 9.0 WITH THE OLD MOTOR ALL GLASS CAR AND MEDAL AERMOTIVE FUEL PUMP ELECTRIC WATER PUMP 750 CARB ALUM RADIATOR ALL LIGHTS WORK WATER OIL TEMP GAUG A MUST SEE ITS INCREDIABLE IF INTERESED.

I couldn't agree more. Apparently broke is cool. What I love is when the car has missing FTP, sleepy eyes, zip-tied molding, and hella flush camber

****. No.

A rotary engine is what makes an rx7 special and I die a bit inside every time I see one ruined... Especially one ruined by putting a boinger engine in it.
