    help on engine choices for my ford v8 swapped fc rx7 build

    I look at it the same way I look at someone putting a carbed SBC in a Supra. You're taking the brand's flagship model and putting a motor from the 1950's in it... Now if you build an all aluminum EFI ford motor.... ;)

    Engine mount location is dictated by the tranny mount in this swap. Yes you'll have to beat the firewall back a bit with the twins.

    help on engine choices for my ford v8 swapped fc rx7 build

    Main reason the LS motor is a better choice is it's lighter and make more power easier. Keeps the weight balance the same so it doesn't spoil the RX7's great handling.

    LED Brake light should be banned agree or disagree?

    European cars flash their emergency flashers when you brake hard. But anyway, Yes, let's ban LED's because they're "bright" when that's the whole point... Not to mention the main safety part of them that they come on faster than a normal bulb (yes this makes a difference in reaction times)

    Thought I'd share something.

    Have fun as you use antiquated coolants designed for iron engines instead of bi-metal engines. Chemistry is a bitch...

    Dropped a Valve Seat on a 7M-GTE (Pics Inside)

    Honestly, I wouldn't use it. Some erosion in the water jacket is normal (because the car is old and most people don't change their coolant) but lean/detonation damage is a different story...

    IIRC it's 171 or so. Doesn't take into account odd things like tires ballooning at speed though...

    What's with the major erosion between the exhaust valve seats? That's not normal at all...

    Rear Gear Top Speed

    Bit soon than that with everything stock on a 7M and R154 Auto will go a bit higher because of the gear ratios. It wouldn't be hard to go higher with taller tires or increased rev limit, but of course you need the power to get there...

    Exhaust suggestions

    At those power levels, you're looking at custom like everything else at that level.
