ha, GOOGLE OWNS YOU

and so does the rx7club search button..

But seriously, it fits, and has been done plenty of times.

Quite the expensive motor but a v8 will fit.
And it is very light compared to many motors

I personally would love a v8 and am not against it....
It doesnt really throw off the car, nothing like most expect.

I have a good friend with an ls1 FD and he has had NO issues whatsoever in the last 2 years since he replaced his big single turbo rotary setup.

its 130lbs lighter than a ka24de.
I have a friend with a s13 ls1 swaped 240sx. (1 of 2 that we know of in the world)
he dynoed at 361whp, with just an exhaust and intake. that car moves and gets great gas milage to boot.
o and 300 ft-lbs at 2000rpm is nice

if it's popular then there is info out there. if you think people want to type up everything they did every time someone asks here their fingers would be very tired very quick plus it clutters up the forums.
