aaron cake:
heh, i didn't say rotary's are no good, i said i don't like em...and i already have a '68 mustang with a beefed up 302, edelbrock heads, cams, intake, carb, etc....
actually i didn't say i haven't drove the one that hit the deer.....i pulled the fan off yesterday, hooked a truck to the frame and pulled it back out, put a new fan/radiator on and drove it to the auction.... but no where did i say i had not ran it, so don't assume. and the parts car 13b i haven't tried running, but it has 130k+ on it so it doesn't seem like it would be worthwhile to swap it in, from what i've read... although i priced out a rebuild from ebay parts (they're cheap) and it was about 650$...
anyways, i found a crashed '97 camaro with a hopped up 350 in it, so i may put that in instead (not as much torque, but the guy claims 360HP...) and it's cheap, i love cheap...

al010101: go ahead and put that 500 ci in there. have fun trying to make it fit, and if you do, have fun driving it at about 1-2000 RPMs, because anything higher than that will literally twist and tear the car apart. have fun!
