The Factory Diff. Is Holding, I Install And Gsl Rear End, Its Holding, 456 Hp To The Rear Wheels, 483 Ft Of Torque., Im Specting An 11 At The Track, If I Dont Breake It Before, Hood Closes So Be Careful Mutangs.

Ughhhhh, why? I know that people are so confused about Rotary engines that they don't want to take the time to propperly build one, that they slap a V-8 in it and think it's fast. Not flammin, just giving my opinion. I too have contimplated doing a V-8 swap on my SA parts car, but for some reason I just cant bring myself to do it. I think of the Rotary as unique, and when you take the heart out of something that is unique, you kind of kill it. Sorry, just post some pic's.

I really don't care what engine you use, but if you've got a hard on for V8's, the least you could do is install something relatively light, like a 302. At least then the weight balance isn't totally borked all to hell.

Just remember high cubic inch displacement doesnt make it necessarily heavy.
There are 44x-45x cid v8s that are small blocks. 427-454 cid small blocks are ******* ridiculous... the only reason to get a BB of that displacement is becuase back then you kind of had to go BB to get that kind of displacement. These days you can see big blocks going well over 500 cid displacement... and plenty of big blocks can turn ridiculous rpms even with those long *** strokes. And they come in aluminum form, too.
But, naturally, that costs cubic dollars.. might as well just pack bens into the cylinders! And, obviously, if you have THAT much displacement, theres no need to rev high - a 302 at 8K rpms is only able to move about as much air as a 402 at 6K rpms, granted VE is the same.
But Im sure you know which of the two would be easier to drive and cheaper to make.... heres a hint: theres STILL no replacement for displacement.

some of you people i just don't get... until you have actually driven or atleast ridden in a v8 powered FB you absolutely have no clue what you are talking about. the weight, power, soul, blah blah blah means nothing when you are just preaching what you think is how it will be.
i LOOOVE the rotary... i work at a well known rotary shop and see and drive rx7's all day every day, but guess what's in my FB... a chevy 350 and there's only been a few cars that have come thru the shop that can beat it.
if any of you seriously get the chance to ride in one... don't flame it, just take a ride and you'll see why it's not so bad

Fitting It In Was Easy, Flip The Crossmember Around So The Hump Would Face The Steering Link, Then Cut The Crossmember Sandwich Top, And Re-inforce On The Bottom, Heat And Move Sway Bar Foward 2 Inches, Radiator Is / Just Like An Ls1 On A Camaro, Coil Over Front Sus. To Keep Right Hight, Any ?
