best place to get v8 conversion
Hello there,
well..my rx7 is cursed!!!
no matter how many times i've tried to fix it..something always goes bad. always.
i'm tired of the rotary and the turbos...it's been 7 years..and i've put in about 50miles on the car.
so...that being said..who can i send the car to to have the v8 conversion??
i've heard of hinson supercars..and then granny's kit. anyone recommend anyone else?? experience??
any thoughts are welcomed.
thank you

My thoughts are to do it yourself. Get a kit from Granny's or Hinson and just do it. Putting a 5.0 in a second gen was an easy swap compared to the 13B in the Porsche. An LS1 into a third gen is a straight forward swap especially if you are not concerned about smog.
You asked for my thoughts.
Another thought is to sell yours as a roller and buy an already completed V8 swap.

thanks for the inputs guys...
it's a 3rd gen. mazdaspeed bodykit, slick headlight kit..new paint..i've spent so much time and money on this thing..
at the moment, i just want to drop it off somewhere and let them finish the car for me. How's the reputation of Brian at Hinson?? is he straight foward to deal with?? anyone had any problems??

if youre at the point where you're just going to let someone else do it, why not just have someone else fix it in its current condition? fixing the stock motor will no doubt be cheaper than a ***** out engine swap especially if someone else does the work.
