They guy with the big LS [680bhp] Is Tinker 27 - if that\'s who you are thinking of.

He\'s at a show in London for a couple of days so not sure if he\'ll check the forum before he gets back.

Be a nice conversion but cost you just as much as a rebuild....It\'ll last longer though.

I have a big single with every mod goin... Which will all be for sale if i can match the cost of the V8 swap... tbh i love the Rotary but its always in the back of my mind will it blow or not... Will be goin to the Ring a good few times and tbh i dont think the 13B will be up for it... Well not for the way i drive anyway... Will see how i get on anyway...

Craig will be doing a conversion for me in the next wee while. Can\'t wait to get her running with a V8 note. Go for it!

In my opinion it\'s the only way to go rather than keep paying out for re-builds. If mine goes pop again there will be an LS3 in my car as quick as a flash. At the moment my Re-Worx re-built engines runs like my Rolex and I love it, but I still have this nagging thought in the back of my mind despite the fact I\'m running it in with the type of care that can only be described as obsessive.
