has anyone swapped in a 302 0r 351 ford engine into a 93-95 rx7 on this site or know of anyone who has? i have googled it and came across a name "darkside-7" but i cant find any info on this swap and one other, any help is appreciated

 

There is a subforum called "Other Engine Conversions" which deals with V8 swaps. Also, Google up "Grannys speed shop".

 

haha, I wanted to drop an LS7 into my FC... but i figure that will run upwards of 20k for the swap.

 

If you have the money for an LS7 swap you would already have a vette or an FD.

the lt1 would be a better choice.

 

you mean LS1 right? LT1 uses optisprak which is crap.

 

No, I meant lt1. Almost the same power for a third or less the price. If you have the money to burn, go ahead. The ls1 has thinner cylinder walls thus less room for more displacement. The much better heads and intake is the difference in power. It's also aluminum, so it's much lighter. If your on a budget get the lt1 and mod it later, if you've got 5-6k to burn go ahead and get the ls1.

Do you have an lt1 car?

The lt1 guys I've seen love the setup
