Hello everyone. i Bought this car with 48000kms. put it on the road(bonestock!) and the rotary lasted days and blew up. ive always been arounds fords and have accumulated quite a collection over the years. so i dropped a 92 5.0 ford in it. here are some pics of the car and the cowl hood i made. hood waas made for the mn12 blower im putting on it now.et.com/albums/h419/bigfordon44s/IMAG0067.jpg[/IMG]

 

Cool swap, hood is massive!
At first when I read it I'm like "uhh, that's an RX7, not RX8..." now the name makes sense haha

 

I bet everyone sees a V8 in an RX-7, I see a hood that has an rx-7 and a v8. Bang for your buck its a pretty cool muscle car.

 

I keep forgetting how tall those 5.0's are, looks like a clean swap

 

Ummmmm, did you cut out more of hood to allow the scoop to sit a lil flusher with less bondo/filler?? Cuz from where I'm sitting its lookin' like the filler is approx 1/2" @ the deepest area...which means it'll crack out over time for sure......

 

Thanks for the "rookie tip" but ive been doing hoods and fiberglass moulding and body work for over 10 years.i just took a photo to show how the cowl looked before i cut it down. all the edges you think i just caked bondo on I grinded down paper thin and had zero gaps before moulding!.there might be a 1/8 inch thick layer of filler on there. most of the product(liquid resin) was put under the cowl to bond to the hood cheers

 

That was quite a cocky response..Clean car though.

 

Yeah it was and i was i little rude my bad no harm meant! i am on this pirate4x4 forum as well and im just use to having to **** on people cause of how much they do it to a noob. It a great relief to hear positive feedback ond no flaming!! my apoligies

 

Not too bad! I can dig it

 

It's done nicely, at least

But it looks like Barbra Streisand
