[quote="sPrSw2o"]who are you to say that he doesnt care what his car handles like?[/qoute] Well its a reasonable assumption to make that handling isn't a high priority. Generally, people that put V8s into little cars aren't too worried about handling Quote:

had i ran "like a child", i wouldnt have returned........ so lets put this lame **** down okay?
"If hes not building a track car that needs 50/50 weight bias and every ounce shaved..."- you, i was just correcting you. theres no such thing as 50/50 weight bias. you shouldnt make assumptions. you dont know his plans... i never tried insulting his intelligence, just said how tough it would be to get a proper handling car out of a v8 fb. how exaclty did i contradict my original argument? IMO, its gonna ruin the cars purpose, and be gay. but its not my car, good luck to him. "By your reasoning, your car, every FF car, *no cursing!* everything thats not MR is gay straight from the factory. "- you ^that doesnt make sense. try again. respectfully made what point? i think its clear that he feels he can have fun w/ this setup, or else this thread wouldnt exist. i hope you could figure this out on your own.

I am ----><----- this close to locking this thread guys. Either offer up helpful advice, or take this bickering to PM.
Lets keep the opinions out of this one, 5 pages is enough. Thank You, mike

Well I met a guy from torquecentral today at lunch and his car is amazing. His is a 1984 FB with a supercharged SBC 350. He had a couple of timeslips and his best time was a high 10 seconds in the 1/4 mile. He is also running 550 horsepower on his factory differential with 15 inch raceslicks. So I am coming to the assumption that anything is possible as long as there is some pre planning involved. Thats what I was hoping to get from this thread and not a whole lot of flaming going on. Or maybe even a little help from you guys and gals on this board since we are all suppose to be true automobile enthusiasts. It is cool I learned a valuable lesson from all this. NEVER ASK FOR OPINIONS! Some of you did help me out so I just want to say thank you and hopefully the finished project will be at a meet real soon.

Good luck on the FB conversion - big V8+small FB=
BTW I only stuck up for the rotary because I own one and I believe it is the "soul" of the car; how do you think a WRX owner would feel about a V8 swap in a WRX Having said that,I'm done with the topic and I wish you nothing but the best. Keep us updated on your progress

BTW T2 hoods were aluminum, not fiberglass like i stated earlier. (although the point doesnt really change, its still very lightweight)
And some t2's do have steel hoods, although it is very rare and mostly in seriers 4 (S4) fc's. This is because the car sold so well mazda came upon a shortage of aluminum, so they had to use steel. Quote:
And no offense but I doubt there are any stock parts in that entire drivetrian (diff. included). It was made to support at most 135 bhp and 133 torque. I doubt it would be able to handle 4 times that amount of power. |

Well FC3S4 that guy I met today made me a believer. He had a stock GSL diff and a 200R4 tranny with no mods but his next mod is a 8.8 ford diff just for he can tune the FB for more HP's. I plan on going with a 8.8 ford diff because it requires no fabbing of the stock suspension. I will keep posting updates of the projects.

Enough of this crap already. A perfect balance to this car is some pimp daddy Caddy power. Find yourself a wrecked Caddy with a fresh Northstar engine... bolt it to the GM transmission of your choice and haul ass. Those engines are small, lightweight, RELIABLE, and powerful with a great aftermarket following.
On that note, I have a 500 cubic inch Caddy engine that is just beggin' to be installed in something silly like an rx-7 or 280z. |
