Ahh, always want to see a KL swapped 7, but I'm sure the 4.3 is just as badass if not better.

But 1.8? Gotta go with the ZE

Ya I think the 4.3 will give me what I need and I just herd that the 1.8 is easier to build to make it a badass

I hope this was a lost cause car to start with. I mean, you didn't take a perfectly healthy rotary engine and rip it out, did you?

Looks like a fun build though!

right now I'm leaving it manly stock cuz the weight of the motor makes it sit lower in the front and the struts and spring are stiff enough to handle my kind of driving but I do want to upgrade to coilovers and independent rear someday
