well, we can always stop the flameing wars by if anyone comes here and asks about a V8 swap you guys send them to us, and if we hav any needs with handling, body or other normal rx7 stuff well wonder over this way. I say either that or we stop arugeing and get back on topic.

Guys, there are HUGE rotarys in production, thats not a issue.

check out the specs on the 11.6 liter 2 rotor engines... I know they're not for cars, but still..
Actually a frog with wings is impossible,
Do you know much about Mircoevolution? Actually I'm sure its possible.

Mixing stuff is always a good thing, like a rotary in a datsun 510, *cough*mariah carey*cough*lol...I wouldnt mind a blown 347 stroker in my n/a ... I just think its pointless to swap a V8 into a turbo 2 or a 3rd gen.. swap something thats SLOW!!

They did make in excess of 300hp stock though, I wonder how efficient they would have become with the kind of devolpment time that the V8 has seen.

I researched that it is not in production.
I wonder why.

PS: Your *** is showing. Grow up.
You implied that it was impossible, much like a frog with wings right? I challenged your statement.

I guess by this latest post of yours, you just proved my point.

Thanks,
Isaac

P.S. I'll grow up when I get hair on my nuts.

Isaac;
Are you a 13 year old girl, with a passion for cars?
That would explain your behavior.

Isaac is cool. I know him personally from off the board and he is usually really nice and mild mannered. Then a v8 swap comes up and he foams at the mouth. Rotaries are his religion. He is not 13 either!

OK. He still has some growing up to do.
I actually admire his passion, and devotion to the rotary.
His ability to interact in the real world leaves something to be desired.
