I'm not real big on the V8 swaps, but don't let all the haters discourage you. Do work, son.

I've never seen, been in, or built, a turbo V8 Rx7, but I'm pretty sure that is how you do it.

Lol. Last time I was in a car with bump correction like that, one of the tie rods ended up coming off...





on the interstate








at night








in a construction zone







with the no emergency lane



What could go wrong with trying it again?

I like it! what turbo is that? what kinda boost will you be running? what is your expected hp? What mods do you got on that LSX? Running a turbo that big is scary to me on a V8 but thats just me. should be awesome when your done!

Pics of the 8.8 swap? Don't worry about the norotards, no one on that site knows anything about building such a badass car as you have here. You should post up a build thread on yellowbullet. No hate there, and you could probably teach them a thing or two.

Just let us know when you trap 145mph with the boost turned down on an easy shakedown pass, like I did
