Re: Rx7/ls1

Re: Rx7/ls1

You're gonna run a couple of big fart cans out the azz end, right ricer?
J/K, that is a real clean looking swap, and that shade of blue is bad azz.
On a similar note, I've been trying to get a buddy of mine to do an LSx or LTx swap into his $$ pit 944. For all the cabbage he has shelled out fixing the dayum stock engine when it blows he coulda had a bad azz but uber reliable GM engine unda da hood!

Re: Rx7/ls1

Heck, a 396 CID 32V LT1 would be pretty cool in an RX7, right?

My engine would be cool in a Yugo! But it would be even cooler if I just got the dayum thing built already...
