What Type Of V-6s
#1
what type of v-6s have people put in Rx7s, my engine is on its way out and i need a cheap alternative, i wanted a v-8, put i need to spend less than a grand, and i will do the work myself, granny's shop sells kits for the chevy 4.3, but i can get a chevy 2.8 from a 3rd gen camaro....i'm ot doin this for performance, i'm doing thi because i can't afford the rotary engine to replace it

What year is your car?
I would suggest NOT putting an american V6 into your car, seeing as how EVERYONE will hate you, atleast get a V8. But I suppose the V6 would be lighter on teh front end.
Anyways, look into finding a VG30 (Nissan 300ZX motor). That would be better (in my eye's)

For $500 you could get a good running short block off of the forums, and it would be MUCH easier, because your going to have to fab everything up, unless you use a kit from grann'y speed shop.
And then that will cost you more money.

You will end up spending more $$$ if you swap something else in. You will run into ton's of small problems that you didn't think of, costing more in the long run. Just save up enough money and get it done right, with a $1000 your not give yourself much to work with.

Acctualy you won't run into mcuh of any problems putting a V6 (chevy/ford), into an RX-7, because there are no clearance issue's with a motor that small, and if you carb it, you really don't have to wire anything up other than the starter and altornator.
But I still think it would be cheaper for you to jsut put a rotary back in it. Especially if you just blew your motor, because all you have to do is buy a short block, and wala. Presto is runs again.

well, i need a car that runs, thats y i only have a 1000, can't have my car off the road for a long time, granny's kit is like 300 or 500, plus motor and trans, don't need anything else because its carb(which i hate)...how much would a short blockb be...and i assume ur talkin used, no new, and then, what happens if the persfon i buy it from screws me?....i can easily rebuild a piston engne
