Any comments on FD's with V8 conversions?
 

I have a stock VR FD 93 for more than 2 yrs now and loving it. I'm a rotary engine fanatic but i was recently told about the V8 conversions out there, namely from Hinsonsupercars.com. They basically changed the engine and transmission with Corvette engine, 6 speed tranny. they claim 1/4 of 10 sec's or so. Conversion costs 10k. My questions are the following:

How many FD'S out there with V8 conversion already with good results?

What other companies out there also perform conversions? cost?

Are they more reliable?

thx for the info.

A whole subforum devoted to engine swaps in RX-7s. People will be friendlier, and there is tons of info available for you to search through.

Firebird, camaro(Fbody) LS1 with T56. 10 sec 1/4 mile times are definately not for a stock engine, but speed in the 113 MPH range is for a stock engine. If done properly it is much more reliable and fuel efficient than a 13brew, not to mention the easier around town driving.
