Default Lost to a rx7

Hey all,
After losing to a sweet fd rx7 a month or so ago, ive given up on turbo'd sixes and im out to embrace the rotary life.

i got my hands on a 1984 929 2 door, and a motor and box out of a 91 fc from japan and im getting ready to do the swap, so anyhelp that anyone could give would be much appreciated.

O.O very nice! I'm curious how many intake gaskets you went through though, the american 3.8 had a lot of issues with springing intake gasket leaks even on the n/a, the supercharger one popped even more often. I don't think we ever got a turbo'd one stateside although I really would've enjoyed a turbo 3.8 camaro lol there wasn't nearly enough room under the hood to work on the v-8 camaro of the 90's

i dont know about the american versions, but in australia we never had a problem with intake gaskets letting go. and as for a turbo model, na mine is a kit you can buy, comes with ever thing ya need.

Must've been assembled with better quality down there, or people take better care of their cars lol. When I was an auto tech I lost count of how many intake gaskets I did on those and the ford 4.6 L
