There's a subforum for this.

Exactly. Go to the other engine conversions forum. People in this tech section will probably flame you.

Hopefully they'll just let this thread die, instead of starting a giant ******* debate like usual.

Whatever you choose, good luck with it.

P.S. I like rotary's.
-no the rotary sucks
-no v8's suck
=mee87rx7 thats all that'll happen it like kids fussing over who has the coolest toy. Talk about on here man forget the airheads.

Yes, I've put ~1500 miles on a LS1 equipped FD recently. I purchased it as a mostly finished project. How does it drive? Check out this tread on Torquecentral: http://www.torquecentral.com/showthr...576#post372576

Power? I'm probably a little north of 350 rwhp (cammed NA LS1)

Mileage? Depends how you drive. I suspect it could be really good ... For me, I get ~18 mpg on the street, for reference, my rotary FD gets a little less ...

Overall, I think rotaries and LS1s are awesome! Very very different but both incredible power plants... It's all about preference ...
