i would check around the junk yard or on the for sale section on this forum and theres always ebay too.....and by the way i dont think you should put a v8 in it because that just ruins the car IMO if you wanna have a v8 car go get a stang or a camaro dont ruin another rx7 like some other people have done....juss go turbo

I am sure hes heard that opinion before, and I doubt we are going to change his mind, no matter how much it pains you to see a V8 in an FC
