Re: RX-7 and LS1

Its done all the time. In fact I think there is a forum dedicated to that swap. LS1 RX7 Forum in Google should turn something up. Got any pics of the car or motor? There are a couple of them running around in my area and they are fast.

Re: RX-7 and LS1

Sounds cool. Let us know if you came across any problems. I have a friend who did an LS1 swap in his 88' Camaro. That thing is a BEAST now. Beautiful car too.

Re: RX-7 and LS1

i think RX-7s aren't the most reliable cars around. Blown apex seals and overheating are frequent problems, but more often it is poorly executed tuning or over boosting that turns the 13B into an IED.
