Nice kill. Nice engine swap. Probably one hell of a sleeper.
what was wrong with your engine the whole time it wasn't running properly?

I love Rotaries and RX7's.... I am learning more and more about them... but not every V8 has 20k in it... I barely have 2k in my whole car! lol
But anyway good kill.
I want to see some pics of the car! Not doubting ya by any means just like seeing Rx7's...

[/quote]Yeah, a lot of people tell me "Those (rotaries) aren't very reliable" and I haven't found a shop that'll even step near it yet. But I did get offered a job after I took this mechanic for a ride last week.
