Nice, looks like an '86? What model is it? Which engine are you considering using doing the v-8 swap? FI or carb?

But its still badass of course.

Please take off the RX-7 tags and send them to mazda please. It will not be an RX anything with a ****-on engine in there. The name of the car means something in case you didn't know.
