A new guy from GA.
Hello everyone! My name is John, I reside in the South GA area. Always enjoyed rear wheel drive foreign cars, especially the Rx7, 240sx etc. Just picked up a 1988 Mazda RX7 that didnt have a motor or tranny and am working on dropping a V8 in it for the 24 hours of Lemons. (Please, not trying to put down the rotary, its a sweet motor, when it works.) I know your not suppose to post "for sale" stuff here but anyways....
Looking forward to learning how to do a V8 swap for the first time, and am probably going to be needing a good bit of help from you all here! Thanks in advance!

Well, since it's going to get all beat up for the race, I reckon a nasty ol' V8 swap wouldn't be totally out of line.
Welcome to RX-7 Club, Big J, and let's see a pic or two of the unfortunate beast about to be violated!

Haha nononono!! It will have lovely fine racing lines! (or at least thats the idea...) I will be sure NOT to beat the car up! (Just dont look under the hood...) As you can see from the pictures I have a ton of work to do and while my college classes must not suffer from this I will be working on this as much as possible.
Violated? No, I beg to differ you see, it is good of me not to trash a rare rotary in one of these races. I am doing a favor for the rotary fans!
