rx7 gen3 fitted with ls1

[tinker-27]

hi im a new member,just putting some pics of my rx, it had a rover 5.0l on throttle bodies but i have now fitted ls1 motor,its fairly stock at the moment . i had plans to tune it but it goes so well i have left alone for now 405 bhp,395 ft lb,  315ft lb @ 1200rpm!!! and it idles perfectly does not over heat ,and sounds fantastic.
it runs stock springs (all ally motor) and 1600rpm@70mph in 6th. I have had a launch kit made to fit both lower and top arms if any body wants any hope you find it interesting cheers craig.

Came back part way from Le Mans in a LS6 engined AC Cobra - 385rwhp in a 800kg body!!!  Got a lot more respect for these engines now. Fecking awesome.

I can imagine this FD is pretty quick too!
