The beauty part about doing the v8 swap is you can still maintain the same weight distribution and easily make it lighter. Handling doesn't get effected. You also have a more reliable 400-500hp with more torque. And best of all its about the 3rd the cost of a 20b conversion. So there are some very good benfits from doing the swap. And really the only bad part about the whole thing is giving up the enjoyment of having a rotary with a turbo to play with.

You could always try to fit a TTV8 in there. Doubt it'd fit... But yeah... I'm all about anyone who can turn over a WELL DONE V8 swap. Nothing wrong with that.
It's all about the whole package. FD's are beautiful and the more reliable they are, the more you get to drive them!!
It's like real **** vs. fake ****. Sure the fake ones ruin the origional design... but they sure are ****** nice.
