Way ahead of you

Those pics were from right after the swap. In fact, those pics are from before I even fired her up for the first time.

Im looking into a 350 or LT1 swap to put in but for now the 305 will have to do. IDK everyone talks **** on the 305 but it has always worked just fine for me. I dont really know what the engine ahs done internally since I got it from my grand father when he passed away but this thing is BAMF.

I went through 2 rotary engines and then I built and raced a 89 T2 engine which went when my oil cooler line burst on the track at maple grove

After that I was done with a daily driver Rotary engine.

moorefire · 06-06-2006, 09:33 AM

su_maverick · 06-11-2006, 01:48 AM

Drftpretty · 09-07-2006, 07:23 PM

^ Let me know for sure.

Im always down. As long as there isnt a drop of rain on the roads. lol

How do you go from doing something like this to worrying about how your APC tail lights look on the other car? Go back to doing this stuff, much more badass than spray painting tail lights.

In his defense, he is trying to make the taillights look less APC.

90gsx · 09-08-2006, 06:45 AM

Nice car, always been a fan of the swap had a 88 TII 3 years ago rotary is ok but I think if I couldnt have another dsm I would build a ls1 FC.

XxaltezzaxX · 09-08-2006, 08:13 AM

Nice, v8's in these cars are bad a$$

Nice job on the swap! Any track #'s with it?

Scapegoat · 09-08-2006, 11:11 AM

so, when do I get to lay down some rubber in that?

201Motorsports · 09-08-2006, 11:31 AM

That is a serious beast... sweet as hell.

GLHWCU · 09-08-2006, 12:04 PM

james_ls · 09-08-2006, 12:25 PM

I love weird-swapped RX-7's.

I still want one in that year...with no motor.

LS-7...hehehe.

IDK Im having som serious traction issues. I really cant hook up at all lol.

Im G-teching in the high 12's with the cam, 680cfm carb, weiland intake mani, flow tech, dual electric fans, Fluidyne rad., headers, and straight side exit exhaust.

With alittle tuning low 12's if not high 11's

All for under 5k and from a motor that I spent $300 on and didnt have to rebuild.

Thanks for feedback guys. Its only a matter of time before Ill be taking her to one of the TST track events.
