Introductions & Greetings - Throwing Rotarys in the Trash in VA!

Hello guys, I'm new to the fourm. Just wanted to say hi. I'm starting my LSX build on my RX-7 so I figured I'd sign up and make some new friends!!

welcome, are you on http://www.v8rx7forum.com ?

also which rx7 do you have a fc or fd??

Welcome to the site!

You should keep the rotary and make a rotary powered blender or somthing. Itd be more economical than Top Gears LS2 powered blender, and the rotary would be much better suited to its new job.

LOL tell me about it.. JUNK!!

I haven't see that site yet, I'll have to check it out. thanks for the info

I have a 88 FC... it's a 10th AE TII. It runs but it's not even close to fast enough

I'll post pics tonight but there all on my Sprint phone... so you should feel my pain, it's gonna take awhile.

Sprint & Rotarys = Worthless

The cars hot tho no?

with the right rims and an LSx that could would be sick!!! normally not a fan of fc's but that car is clean man :drive:

o boy... thats a clean 10th AE the rotards will hate you even more

nice ride!

Thanks. Yeah I get no love from the rotary guys they clowned me clean off the fourm LOL!

wow u have a beautiful car. going to be sick with the lsx. good luck with the build

thanks. I'm talking to a guy with a ls1 t56 setup now... gonna shoot for 3200.. cross your fingers!!!

That would look sick with some nice wheels.

Yeah some white Volk TE-37's

leave the exterior like that total sleeper mode

Well that LS1 deal went south... Dude wanted 4500 and it had 130 on the clock... I told him "Good luck".

Welcome to the site, from Fredericksburg myself.

Good luck with your swap. Im not sure how they are priced, but M&M Auto Parts always have several LSx motors for sale, you get all accessories, harness, computer with the engine and its not all hacked up like some places. Last time I was there they had 2 or 3 GTO motors in the showroom. Worth a shot.

Good luck

Nice car Jay. Lots of rotary guys making the switch to LSX here lately. Good luck with the project, and make sure to keep us updated on the progress.

i'd love to dig into a rotary engine... unfortunately, the g/f would probably put the kibosh on another project (got 2 at the moment, both taking up space in her garage). but i am a fan of rx7's (both fc's and fd's), and fc's can be had for cheap!

good luck w/ the ls swap! those are becoming pretty popular w/ the rx7 crowd.

you can find a good ls1 in the classifieds section here. just have to have patience and wait for the right deal.

Very clean car btw, good luck with your project

thats one clean ride man. good luck with the swap, can't wait to see how it comes out when its done

Nice looking car and I wish you luck on finding a deal on a LS1. I live in Fredericksburg,Va also.

You don't have to necessarily go with the LS1.......the 5.3 and 6.0 both perform outstandingly, also, when massaged properly......

imho, any 3rd or 4th gen V8 engine will make for a great swap.

And don't worry about the rotards giving you a hard time, the Z guys used to get the same crap from the Datsun "purists" when they were swapping in Gen 1 smallblocks into 240's, 260's, and 280's.

Nice car, very clean for the year. You can find LS1 longblocks used for $2000 all day. Or there are brand new LS6 400hp longblocks for $2900. Then $1200 for a rebuilt T56 with bellhousing, and $450 for LS7 clutch set and you have a reliable, practically new setup. All of a sudden your at $4450 and have new reliable stuff. But then you have to hunt down all the accessories and harness (figure $700).
