I have a 1988 mazda RX-7 that my brother gave me after he blew the motor up and i decide that it would be cool to build a drag car out of it so we stripped it's gutts and build a 350 hp chevy V-8 and put in the car with a th-350 tran.



And we haven't lost one yet....



est. weight is around 1500lb wet weight full tank of gas..

1500lbs ???? how ???

1500lbs is a lot of weight difference,there for i will raise the flag :bsflag:

if however i can be proved wrong then i will lower the flag and appolagize.

yeah, it prolly wieghs more like 2400....

Who the **** voted 350? Shoot him! j/k To each there own but the rotary is the soul of the RX7, without it, it becomes lifeless.



It may be cheaper to go fast with the 350 but why would you want to? You can't compete in any events with a 350 in it. Maybe your local dragstrip but, I don't know, I am just agianst it.

maybe the guy who put the post up voted for 350

like lane change said the rotary is the heart and soul of the RX-7. It represents the only major and prolonged production of a rotary powered car. The engine is what makes it an RX-7. With a 350 in, it is just a 350 with a body around it not an RX-7. and anyone that thinks it is :rant: to you and https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/moon.gif you know you want to kiss my rotary loveing ass.

damn it, go buy a freakin taurus and dump a 350 into it, holy snap why would you do that to a 7 why god why? please dont, cause then well all come to your house and kick your ass

A few friends and I had this disscussion the other day,

You can put a rotory into anything!!!

But never anything but a rotory in a 7!

Otherwise. . what's the point!

You've stripped what makes is special.

I could be wrong. . . but I'm probably not. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

This discussion was going on at TeamFC3S. I cannot stand when people put V-8's into RX-7's its just plain wrong.



As far a weight goes. You need to tell me what you have done. I am trying to get an 86 base model down under 2000 lbs and it has been a bitch!! So pleas share with th eclass and tell me what you have done?? I have taken every safety component out of the car. Side door braces front bumper (only the skin is there) Rear bumper (again skin) every bit of sound proofing. Undercoating. Dashboard.



Please enLIGHTen me.

alls i have to say about both of those coments is.............BS............. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif I am a huge gm fan and owning a 3rd gen 7 when i blew it up i had a gm crate motor right there and the thought never even crossed my mind to kill the one thing that makes a 7 what it is....................I would like to know if the only thing your going up against is hondas???????????

people that even think about putting and but a rotary in an rx7 need to drive a pinto for the rest of there days, or better yet walk.



PS i know somebody in town that did that same stupid ****, and i ran him with my 79 with a 13B and put like 2 bus lengths on him, he shut up and crawled away with his tail between his legs, haven't seen him or the car since
