On the 26th I picked up a 93 RX7 base model with an auto. The previous owner tore the car apart trying to build a project, so I got it cheap.

Now the quest for the LS1 RX7 begins...

I'll be creating a website about the car to keep you all posted on the progress.

 

i would like to see someone do a 5.0 swap to the 3rd gen. the 5.0 is way cheaper and with a couple mods it can hang with ls1s.

 

From what I've heard, there are fitment issues with the heigth of the 5.0 under a stock hood. But I might be wrong.

 

that is true but still, thier should be at least one person on this forums who has done it. don't the 2nd gen have this problem too, y are there tons of them.

 

I can't really speak to the 2nd Gen. I only studied the 3rds

 

Many have put all types of V8's you can imagine pretty much into 2nd Gens.

A few have put LS1's and 5.0's into 3rd gens, similar in terms of exactly how much work has to be done, but a bit less room to work with.

 

Keep us posted.

 

Well the site is up, but missing a lot of stuff. Work has been slow, but here it is:

Thanks for the info, good luck with the project, and keep iot coming!!
