I think you should learn about cars first,lol. Then if you are going to use a 383 stroker motor,
Use twin paxton superchargers in anything EXCEPT A RX7. Just my thoughts on the subject.

Wrong place to post that. Its going to get flamed all to hell in this section. I suggest you go here: https://www.rx7club.com/other-engine-conversions-non-v-8-118/ . All the info you would want and none of the flaming.

No, he's not talking about putting a V8 into his precious stock RX-7....because of the grammar usage, it is CLEAR he's talking about pulling the 14-71 Mooneyham supercharger off of his 383 cid Chebby and installing it on top of his stock Nikki carb with the stock-port untouched 12A rotary beneath alladat......should be a flier, naturally...

where in KS are you at? i will volunteer to buy the rx from you so you do not commit this atrocious act. if you must put a v8 into some little car find an old z car.

Go fer it then, when you're done I'll come to your place with my street ported 12a blow you and your blown chebby away in front of all the people you know, because the fact that your blown small block will eat the Mazda axle, and the tires on it, If it does hold up I'll still beat you because you'll have an extra 300+ lbs in the front and you wont have any traction.

If you want a v8 in a rex DO NOT i mean DO NOT ask a bunch of rotary nuts their opinion on the subject of a V8 in an rx7.

Yes, if its done correctly it usually rewards positive effects.

BUT, if it still has the 12a and it still runs, NO! stick with the rotary You'll have way more fun.

There's a forum for this. It's the Other Engines forum. Consider this moved there.
