That seems like a hell of a lot of work to do when you've got an already capable engine.
There is a guy here in Mississippi who has done that....cool car...limited traction though

He wont do well at the track, itll spin to hgih heaven on anything less than slicks.
From a roll though, very quick.
He should put a big cam in it since the motor is already out.

Wait until he starts modding it... These mazda guys are going in the right direction!
Hey, do you think you could have your roomate do me a favor??? I need the the distance measeured from strut tower to strut tower. I would really appreciate it! My next project is going to be a 3rd gen rx-7 with my old cobras built and blown 4.6 dohc in it. I just need to know how much cutting and fabricating I am going to have to do to get that motor to fit in that engine bay.
Sweet car BTW, there is one about 20miles from me with heads a cam.

damn thats baddass. I've always wanted one of those mutant mostrosities. How is he planing to smog it in CA???
that RX7 is still one of the best handling cars out there, and the rotary is the one thing that turned me off. (too fragile, bad efficency, and not enough torque,) putting that powertrain in there would make it pretty much the perfect street machine. I bet it gets better gas milage with it too. :rockon:

You can legaly make that car pass SMOG. If I remember correctly you just have to have it inspected. The motor just needs to be the same year as the car or newer. My friend had a toyota truck for offroading and he put a ls1 in it, and it passed smog no problem.

31" between the strut towers. 28" between the frame rails.

It will pass CA smog as long as the motor is in stock trim at time of inspection. (Fuel system, johnson rods, manifolds, etc..) The car wil then require Camaro spec smog checks from here out.
mazda guys like putting american v8s in their cars..the monster miata...5.0 miata and what would we call the ls1 rx7s?? sbs in small japanese cars=lots of fun
It's done!
The car is VERY fast!
