I know many of you aren't fond of swapping in a non-rotary motor into our RX7's... but to those who are, have any of you either considered or attempted to do a 3.8 swap out of a Ford T-Bird SC or Cougar XR-7? These motors are incredibly torquey and I think would easily take a 2300 lb 1st gen into the low 13's to high 12's. Any opinions or ideas?
