Well sort of a Mazada RX-7



I wonder why he didn't like the stock motor?

Well it does have an auto tranny https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

AHHH! MY EYES! (tm)

Hmm...it runs mid to high 13s...what a waste.

Yeah thers a company called Grannys all they do is V8 Conversions..But the bad thing is ..they dont run much better than what was in it stock

Alot of people think low end torque=power. That's a common mistake. Hell, if you drove both my stock 91 coupe and my convertible and only revved to 2000 RPM you'd probably think that my convertible was slower.

You mean diesels aren't fast?

Exactly. A big tractor trailer pulls pretty hard with no load, up to a redline of about 2500 RPM. :P

well....

it would of been better had it been a nicer V8... oh say one like this



Then it would of been pretty sweet!

High redline good power and it would be very unique!



Plus the motor is lighter than a 350 so more the weight would be RX7 like then more like a RV8 ?

Isn't the SHO V8 only slightly more powerful than the V6, while adding 200 pounds? That's just what I've heard.

just let me get my turbo conversion and ill show those infidels https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...doublebird.gif

my boss had a v6 sho. sold it to another coworker. he is like wow this is so much faster than his old sable https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

HA HA HA classic

You can get a very streetable 500 hp from a small block chevy, this guy probably did the conversion and figured after he had it all done, he would redo the engine, which isnt hard on a 350, cam change and heads and he would easily be near 500 hp. A powerglide is a 2 speed automatic, VERY nice for drag racing due to the 1st gear, a 2500 rpm stall converter is like launching your car at 2500 rpms with a clutch- you can of course launch higher by having your foot on the brake while you rev it even higher. I love my RX with its rotory, but for the cost of a ECU and turbo, you can build a ass kicking small block chevy, get parts for it in any auto parts store, any mechanic can work on it, and it will run cleaner ( emissions ) then a rotory. A friend of mine had a box Nova with a 900+ dynoed N/A small block in it, imagine what happens when they do turbo and twin turbo in those things. And as for the weight of a small block, there are aluminum blocks, heads, rods, pistons, intake manifolds, etc.. not hard to make a lightweight motor at all.

Yeah, the V-8 conversion has its merits, but I've never seen one that was "all out." Usually the owner just got sick of the rotary and wanted a more reliable powerplant.

I totally agree. V8's = Torque.. IE: Trailer pullers.



Torque is the ability to twist thus break things, such as tired loose.



HP is what moves you down the road.

On grannies site, they had a 3rd gen with an aluminum block LS1 in it, and a T-56 (I think) 6 speed tranny. I don't know how much hp it was making, but it could easily pass emissions.

this is the calmest v8 conversion thread i've ever seen

Yeah, usually you get some retard crying about how the person defiled such a sacred automobile. You would think the person put a Honda SOHC 1.6 in a Ferrari F50. :P

I remember of a big block ford in a 1st generation a few years ago, had a 9" rear in it and everything. Hp moves you down the road and torque is for pulling trailers? Please tell me im not reading this.

Then some guy with a 4 color RX-7 that burns 3 quarts of oil every mile will be yelling about how great the rotary is. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

Once they say something about a Cutlass I'll give you free reign to say anything you wish. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png
