FB RX7 engine choice?

Hi, I'm new to the RX7 platform, I have a 12A rotary motor but I'm a bit of a big-power guys, so I was wondering a few things:
1. If I were to put a old V8 (ford 289, carbureted) in an FB RX7, would I need a cowl, and if so how big of one.
2. If that V8 option doesn't work out for me, then what rotary should I try out, (I'm on a budget) I'm considering just buying a 13B from a RX8, but I don't hear too good things about them.
thanks for your time.

Hi Ethan .. welcome to the club!

This is the "How to use this Site" section where you can find out how to enter the forum, use the board's search function, as well as post questions about how to navigate this site.

The good news is that there is a forum setup specifically for V-8 Powered RX-7's.

That way your questions will be targeted to the members who have already done V-8 conversions.
