I highly doubt you have any experience to back up that statement...

This works in theory only.

Wait until you have to pull the motor out 2-3 times.

I pretty much just wanted to see if you guys were right or not. I have a 93 RX7 so I was going to put the mx6 engine in a similar chasis and see which one would be meaner. Since my RX7 has hit the 400hp mark it would probably be fairly expensive to catch the mx6 engine up.

All I gotta say is that is awesome,,I have 5 1stgen Rx7s and 2Mx6GT.One of my Rx7's is sporting a piston motor V8 350" and one of them has no motor at the moment..It would be a cool swap to try (I have 2 Fe2t motor on my garage floor)..I've already did alot to my other 3Rx7 one of them is a 13B TII,and my favorite is a custom street ported 12A with an IHI turbo(mx6GT turbo),with Dellorto side draft carbs...and GSL SE rear end and tranny,,Let us know how this project ends...

I don't understand! See if we were right about what? And do you plan on doing the necessary upgrades to make it to the 450 hrspwr mark?

**COsborne** · 7-5-03, 20:42

no, I'll be selling it most likely with the extra block, brand new head, spare head, rx7 interior parts, extra rx7 wiring harnesses and panels, spare wheels, etc .... pretty much a 4 ft box loaded onto a pallet full of extra parts

Any pictures still avaialable? IIRC you ended up burnign this car right?

LOL, good luck :-)

I burned the donor car

. There are some pictures in the gallery at Free Chat : The Forum Lounge Chat - Powered by vBulletin. I don't know if any finished pictures were ever posted. I actually still have the car. It's been sitting at my warehouse neglected. I drove it a few times and got bored with it. Tends to happen when you have a third gen rx7 to play with. I'll see if I can snap a pic while I'm out there today.
