Newbie here... looking at FCs...

Hey guys, I'm new to the world of RX7s, I had an SRT4 up until a few weeks ago when I had a mishap with an 18 wheeler on the highway.

Anyways, I was wondering how common it was to swap a V8 into an FC... I've heard about it being done and the big selling point for me is a good handling RWD car with some nice torque...

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks guys, it's not that I'm opposed to rotaries I actually think they're really cool... just that I like low-end torque way too much.

do us a favor, drop in a 4G63T, save some gas! Either that or the new svt cobra supercharged engines, they get some mighty good gas mileage for their hp #'s.
