I too would love to get an rx7 and swap a LSx in it with maybe a procharger or somethin. But I'll prolly end up buying an 03-04 zo6. As far as the notch goes do what u want I personally would do a lsx swap with fi put a t56 in it with a hydraulic clutch set up u can make around 700hp easily and alot cheaper than any mod motor. People on here get butt hurt and call people gay an shit I have no loyalty when it comes to a brand fast is fast and slow is slow

a crazy idea ive been considering is picking up a 93 or 94 rx7 w/ an ls1 or better conversion.

light car with a pretty damn stout motor.

my buddy in hayward has 1993 rx7 with a built LS2 h/c/i and that thing hauls ass!!! almost scary
man...i want one. too bad th
e ones i see for sale locally are overpriced given whats needed to finish them up and the ls1/t56 combo. an ls2 rx7 is insane.

my buddy is always looking to sell his, its complete and hes had it for like 2 years but hes getting bored. he wants to do a kit car, most likely a cobra.....

Yea. I'm not a big fan on ls motors in mustangs. But I could care less. It's your own decision. Go with what you want, who cares what others think. It'll problably be a lot cheaper than building a 347 or 351 since there are so many ls motors around. But to answer your question it really depends on your future plans. If you plan to go boost, a 03/04 cobra block comes forged. If you want to make a N/A monster the the ls1 would be a better choice.

Alex, that red LS1 RX7 is a cool project no doubt. However, it looks like it will need little nick-nacks addressed here and there, paint, suspension work, and wheels at a minimum. I think when it's all said and done and you have it where you would want it, you would also easily be $8-10K deep on top of the purchase price.

That car also screams hack job to me. You'd be discovering surprises for months to come imho.

Alex, what about buying a engineless E46 shell and doing an LS6/T56 BMW!

Just out of curiosity are there any good reputable shops in the bay area that can do a termi swap in a fox? I'm curious what would kinda be the price range for that?
