RX-V8 Build
Hello, I am new to the forum and just bought my first Mazda. It didn't have a motor when I bought it and decided to build a V8 powered RX-7. I built 91 Civic Si auto-x car and wanted something different, something RWD why not a RX-7, they look awesome.

Thanks, I wanted to put a LS1 in but I got a good deal on this set up and I can make a 302 just as good as a LS1. I am building this for street use and weekend use at the track for now. I was thinking of building a FD with LS1 set up, but that won't be for a while.

Actually there are in a rather large populous of those in the 7 club who are fans of the v8 conversion.

I couldn't let a car like this die in the back yard of the house I found it at.

well rested,buffet o food
i dont understand why you would throw away the jessica albaness of the rx7 for a rosie o' donnell fat **** sounding v8. Thats just me though, i would obviously keep the jessica and am properly biased.
Rosie it up though.

It's been a while since I was last on this forum and worked on the car. The status of my build is about 90% complete. I just need to finish welding up my new seat brackets, and putting together the exhaust. right now it is just straight headers.
Here is a short clip of it running.

Sweet! You were gone for a bit and you're not done? I mean I'm not judging but I hope it gets 100% done and I hope its a monster! I love V8s in FCs and SR swaps and 1J swaps

So it's a stock 302, pushing about 225 BHP right?
Why not a stock 13B-T with 205HP, for approx. 1000$ used?
BTW, my bro is building his 88 Mustang with a 347 stroked 302, his goal is 400whp N/A. But it's more expensive than a 20B
AFR 180 Heads, Holley SysteMax Intake etc...
