355 sbc powered '85 GS
My first rotary car was I believe a non-running RX-3 Wagon back in 1989, I picked it up for the engine parts as I was designing a home-brewed 4 rotor engine for my Outlaw Dirt LateModel.
2nd rotary was back in 1990, an abandoned '79 RX-7 from out of state. Was not able to get title to the car, so it became the original test bed for the Granny's Speed Shop engine swap kits.
3rd rotary car I still have, It became my current 355 sbc powered '85 GS "Shop Mule", it has had many different V8's installed between it's strut towers over the years.

You did a fantastic job of fabricating and fitting that drivetrain in the car!! Likely the best SBC V8 install that I've seen to date! Love that you kept the manual transmission!
