New rx7 owner no rotor/no v8
 

Hey my name is Eric i just picked up a 87 Mazda rx7 with a 88 2.3 ford Thunderbird turbo coupe swap. Im not really new to cars before this i have had a few others i just sold my 95 240sx that i sold to pick this up. I wanted a FC for awhile and when i saw this ad i kinda jumped on it. right now there are a few things that need to be cleaned up such as the wiring/radiator setup. i will get pictures as soon as possible of the engine bay for those who are curious. So far its a basic stock swap with fmic/3in exhaust/alittle more boost/ and a turbo 2 rear end

Treat it like it deserves.

Thats quite an odd choice for a motor swap lol But I'm sure it will RIP once its all done and good :)
