Awesome man you will absolutly love the car after the v8 is in her!!!!!!! just perfect. If you have any questions about the swap just ask bro ive done 3 myself. i seen grannyspeed shops kit and it was a waste of money. worth it to some ppl but i made my own kit. I hope your swap goes smooth just remember to tuck the 5.0 as far back as possible. if you move the steering rack ahead a a little bit you can drop down the motor nice and low to fit under the tII hood. i didnt do that though. again good luck on your swap man!!!!

I love these builds but I feel they are under appreciated on most forms. I got an 86 with a 355 sbc Chevy with tunnel ram and a 700r4 with a 2500 stahl. Manual would be cool but I wanted to enjoy my car as well. On my car I made a custom cluster and all problems were solved. 300 in the hole but looks amazing and dead on

I agree. The v8 rx7 is a piece of art if u ask me. I found some gauges on ebay and im stackin up parts. Ill post pics when its goin back together here in another month or so. No matter chevy or ford, they both require good hands and a pair of sacks to manage.
