All the mounts and the driveshaft were made in house at V.C. Racing in Huntington, WV.

The engine is solid mounted with 1/4" thick steel flat plate.

It has the factory automatic shifter intact along with the automatic rear-end (final drive is 3.91).

It has a turbo 350 automatic tranny with a B&M shift kit (stage two).

The engine has an aluminum Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and Edelbrock Polished 750 4 bbl. carb being fed by an electric fuel pump and pressure regulator.

The headers are Flowtech Medium length made for a blazer but, worked well with application.

It also has custom 3.25" dual exhaust breathing through two Tsunami Stainless Steel mufflers angle mounted in the rear for that "still an import" look.

It also has a 2-core aluminum race radiator w/electric fan and an external tranny cooler.

The car is a GXL model, it does have power windows and locks.

Electronic suspension system

The car had been lowered.

It is also a 4-seater.

The Gray interior is in good shape as well.

Kouki Taillights. Series 5 taillights that come from Japan are super rare.

Original owner had over $7000 invested not including labor.

138000 Miles on chassis

Sunroof, Cassette Player

It was shipped here from Florida.

New battery installed. New plugs, wires, cap, rotor, oil filter, fan belt, misc. carb hardware

There is an exhaust leak, but the engine sounds pretty cool.

It was originally a power steering rack, now without the PS pump and it takes some muscle to steer it. I swapped out the steering rack and put back a manual rack out of a S4. It was a bitch fighting that piston in the power steering rack when the PS pump wasn't hooked up.

The engine mounts are hard-wired. No bushings to soften the ride/torque.

The 3.25" exhaust pipes leave only about two inches of ground clearance at their lowest point.

The electric fuel pump has a cut off switch and needs to be shut off when the car is parked or it will keep trying to pump gas.

It starts in gear and the B&M shifter has a different shift pattern than the stock RX7.

Body needed a good polishing/detailing, but retail red is appropriate for the hot small block. This was before the engine swap described below.

Tach has been calibrated correctly. Speedo is not connected.

When I had the old power-steering rack removed and a put back a manual steering rack ... I was also having the 305 engine swapped out and a 350 put back in when the shit hit the fan.

The shop doing the engine swap left it in gear and started it up. It went bolting out of the shop, bounced off a parked car out side, zoomed across the parking lot and slammed into a building. The runaway red FC RX7 with the newly installed 350 V8, wiped out a large part of the building, broke its windshield, dented its fenders, headlights, hood, bumper and curb-rashed the five bolt wheels.

The bad news is that it still overheats.

As is $1995.

why did you opt for the carb? and not do an efi system?

and your headlights are broken:)
