this page has some info that i dont think is correct. it is saying that an LS1 swap in an rx7 weighs the same and handles the same. that cant be true.
i dont want to do this or anything my camaro friend was doing some research on it. RX7/LS1 swap site |
It's true. With Fd engine's you'll have to add manifold/turbo/wastegate/intercooler on top of the engine weight. The LS1 is an aluminum block from what I understand, so it's proly pretty light for a V8. Pretty cool "mod"....just not something I'd do myself.

I found this on the sites FAQ:
How much will the car weigh? Answer) The aluminum GM LS1 and LS6 engines are extremely light power plants. With the complete removal of the 13B and the sequential turbo assembly, the project car's final weight is less than the total gross vehicle weight of a stock Mazda RX7. The final weight of the car is listed below. The car weighed 2,831lbs with a full Touring interior, sunroof, complete Bose sound system including the "Sound Wave," and a 1/4 tank of gas. LF: 746 RF: 677 Total Front: 1,423lbs LR: 675 RR: 733 Total Rear: 1,408lbs * * * * * * * * * Man that is hard to believe... However, it looks like they are still in the 50/50, front/rear weight distribution ratio... |
