Another V8 RX7!!
The engine looks absolutely beast! I too would like to know how much the project has ran you so far. I have an FD that I'm trying to rebuild the engine for keeping the twin turbo set up on the 13b-rew.
I told my dad that I could swap an LS1 if I wanted to and he started to get on my case about fitting a beast of a piston engine in there lol. Only LS engine I would want to stick int here would be a LS7 but I know the conversion kits run at least around 10k not including the price of the engine.
Maybe if I come across an absolutely destroyed Camaro SS to rip the engine out of cheap at a salvage auction or something I really wouldn't think about converting.
Good show though, looks like its coming along just great!
Cheers!

Are you doing the rebuild yourself?
Nice swap OP
Welcome op. Looks like its gonna be a beast congrats. Now many of us here aren't too keen on V8 swaps, but in the end I subscribe to the idealogy of 'hey its your car, do what you want'.
With that attitude, I'd say you're on the wrong forum chief... The frankenseven forum is down the street.
