rx7 v8 project...

[rxv8]

boing...its nearly done 2 weeks i would say...:wave

[nikp]

Any more pics of it lately?

I assume there\'s gonna be a whole in the bonnet? Or have you managed to get the power plant to sit lower down?

[rxv8]

no mre pic yet,yes there will be whole in the bonnet as the engine would not sit down low enough due to the front bottom pulley being to close to the very high steering rack on the rx7...it will be having a small height cowl induction hood center grafted in to the original bonnet,made from a sheet of ali...:wave

Sounds like a really good project mate. Bet it\'s loads of fun (bar the swearing and shouting when parts don\'t fit etc.).

Good luck with it all.

Im currently thinking about a FD3 with an LS1 as a little project. The only thing that puts me off at the moment is our german TÃœV :/ As I want it for my daily driver.

I take it it\'s going to be a drag car. V8 will be a lot heavier than a 13B and the weight distribution will be all wrong for track purposes - well it would take a LOT of work to get it to handle well without masses of understeer anyway. Cool project though, good luck but in my eyes its an engine downgrade.
