I have pics of a BS V8 swap in a FC as well.They are posted in the canadian forum.Just look for the thread where it says that the guy should be shot. V8's belong in mullet mobile camaros.Not Rx7's.Theres not that big of a wieght difference after you drop that heavy *** engine in thier. :rant:

V8 in a 7? Don't be so closeminded. There are enough of these 2nd gens running around that it shouldn't be an issue. Being original is better than following the herd.





V8's aren't just for white trash anymore. :smirk:



Don't click this if you hate V8's

This link is about the car below. It has a V8 and I love it in spite of it.

no it was to slow with the rotary plus reliability was out of the question...

i think that the 7 with a v-8 will kill all who try me....



i have seen a 7 vith a v-8 in it and he was running 11's he said it was the cheapest and fastest drag car he had ever made..
