I'll get him to send it to you

 

Wussup guys, I been lookin' through the *** load of pages in this post lookin for perhaps a next RX7 meet. I am surprised there are some RX enthusisasts this close to me. I live in Richlands about 10 miles outside of Jacksonville. I dont really see many 7's around here. I just bought my first gen w/ plans for a chevy small block swap. Actually I have three in all 2 '83 GSL's and an '80 GS?. Anyways I just wanted to introduce myself and I'll keep checkin in. Later, JWH

 

uhoh...conveting a rotary to a piston driven car? you are defying the wankel gods!!!!!

ok, now that the normal bullshit it out of the way i can be serious. are you planning on fabricating things yoruself=? or are you goign to buy a conversion kit?

 

yeah, george, you can help him, you can convert anything to anything

 

one of Chris' friends says I can turn a cheeseburger into a motorcycl, LOL

 

Well, I'm looking at the Grannys kits. I've read the bad **** about em but you cant really go wrong when they take orders COD only. Dont get me wrong, I'm not a rotary hater, its just that SBC's are my cup o tea.

 

well,
i will go ahead and fess up.

if my rotary ever blows beyond repair, i am seriously thinking about a GNX V6 TT conversion for mine. THAt is my cup of tea.

either that or a 20b

 

and to be honest, the kits are the best way to go.

what kind of transmission and rear end are you plannign on using?

 

george, you should get a 20B if yours blows, thatd be crazy, then youd make like 1000 hp

 

we all want a 20b in our rexes...but few get to live the dream

 

I'll be using a TH350. Actually I'm taking the drivetrain out of my V8 converted S10 and sticking it in there, But, I'll be using the stock rearend. I'd rather have a manual but an auto is what I got.

 

what rear end do you have in the S10? 12 bolt?

aluminum or steel driveshaft?

 

It was a stock 10 bolt 7.5 ring gear w/ welded spider gears (very dangerous and stupid). I meant I was going to use the stock 7 rear cuz its already got a LSD. I'll be using a steel driveshart also. This is a low budget build. VERY LOW. It shoul move pretty good though. I sunk some time and a little money in the engine when I built it.

 

well, i wouldn;t rely on that stock 7 rearend much if i were you. not for long anywayz. nto made for that kind of torque.

also, splurge and get an aluminum driveshaft. lower weight A LOT. which is the whole point of a motor swap like you are doing.

 

Well I've read up on a few swaps and they say as long as you dont put on anything too sticky and wide, it should be fine. The alum. driveshaft isnt really a concern as of now. It will be extremely light for that amont of torque anyway.

 

Woo-hoo, storm is a comin' baby! The trailer park down the road from me is screwed!

 

LOL, thats funny

 

YEAH, POST 700 baby, I'm never posting again

 

I lied

 

I used to have like 800 posts and then one day like a year ago, I logged on, and zippo. I was so pissed. I don't stay up until 3 a.m. for nothing.

 

The only reaso i like to have high posts is so i can change what it says under my name. Doesn't eman much else.

Jsut cuz someone has a lot of posts doesn;t make them knowledgable. Take Batman, JoeD, and Sinfest, etc. Worthless to talk to.

 

Remember that thread from like 3 years ago entitled, "Batman is Gay"? That was the funniest damn thread. I think it got locked eventually.

 

I wasn;t around back then. But i am sure it was funny as hell. They had plenty to work with

 

yeah, i hated sinfest, and I didnt really like joed, and batman can be funny, but annoying

 

geez, i just realized that youve only been on here 4 months more than me, and have double my post, when can you change the words under your user name?
