RX7, 5.7 conversion info?

[mrdanbartlett]

Posted this in gen chat and got directed here, apparently there was a thread about this, I couldnt find it though?

Just wondered what these are like, reliable engine and good handling I guess? How does that engine affect the handling, can you get manual ones, only ever seen an auto one.

Think this is it.
You can probably find more stuff with the PH search engine TM.

The only FD I've seen with a SBC was that black one, with the hideous bonnet that was required to clear the blok

But the older FC's can accept an RV8 AFAIK with no exterior modifications.

(please be aware that I rarely know what I'm talking about )

edit: Why didn't I just click the link Mr Tuttle provided before posting

It can also be done with a series 1 RX-7 and a Lexus V8:




this one is also twin-turbo and nitroused
