building car
 

i have an lt1 motor with everything and tranny. i am looking ot buy a car to drop it in. i am having 2 problems finding car to drop it in and finding someone willing to do it. i have the money for both, if anyone could help my email is camzaro28@yahoo.com. if u knowanyone that does motor drops or rebuilds cars on the side please email me. brian and i live in kissimmee fl laters

BUY a old 84-89 300Z or a mid 80 mazda RX7...

That would be a killer combo... light body that hangles well and strong V8.

You should be able to buy one less than 1000 running... and sell the motor and tranny to help finance your project.

rx7
 

actually weird that u said that i found 87 for 800$. i wa thinking of doing it but i dont want to buy car and nbot be able to find someone to do the motor drop. thanks fo rthe reply

Not trying to busrt anyone's bubble. But I have experience with motor "conversions". Not really a swap, but a conversion instead. There is a ton of work involved and some fabrication depending on what it's going into. If you are not doing the conversion yourself, be prepared to pay a lot of $$$ for someone to do it. There will always be issues with it, I would suggest a 3rd or 4th gen Fbody to put it in. Therefore it will be easier and cheaper. Yeah I've seen RX7 swaps and they are really cool, but it's not a day project to do it. Plus the wiring and fuel system will need to be replaced or fabricated. A big one too is the exhaust.

No trying to discourage anyone, but if you pay someone to do it. Be prepared to pay $$$ and make sure they know what they are doing/getting into. Like with previous experience.

I can get you a mint condition 97 Trans-Am WS-6 for $3000. All it needs is a motor, tranny, and WS-6 Hood (has a stock trans-am hood on it now) and rims (has Z28 rims on it right now). It was a repo. The title is clean and it has under 90K on it.

The car is red with t-tops, and mint leather interior.

My friend and I could also do the work for you. Drop me an e-mail if interested.

Try to contact Brett Downs, he has a car that he might let go for the right price. search this forum.

BE different ...if you got cash....build the RX7... SO LONG as it is not daily driver...you can for go the comforts... I would think about 3000.00 to do the swap and make it run down the road.

thanks all fo rreplying. yeah i would like to drop the motor in thesmaller rx7 and i knwo it will cost more money but jsut like all my other probls i cant find anyone to do it. i had a guy that wold do it then he got addicted to crack and knwo i dont trust him to do work on car. i thought this would be a halfway easy process ( u think someone out there would want my money) but its seeming lil more difficlut now. well thanks all for replying and talk to u all later
