It's easy. How fast can you afford to go?

How fast can you afford to go? meddle 07-21-2005, 02:41 PM turbo SBF powered tII here. 91lx 07-21-2005, 02:48 PM how hard is the SBF swap? :) meddle 07-21-2005, 03:01 PM Pretty simple with a grannys kit. If I did it again, I'd make my own subframe. And tranny crossmember. $100T2 07-21-2005, 03:04 PM turbo SBF powered tII here. You got pics of that??? meddle 07-21-2005, 03:11 PM You got pics of that??? I'll get some up when its 100% completed. The car will probably be painted this winter. Its only got 50k on it, and the paints immaculate, but I hate the blue with blue interior. sir rupert hobo 07-22-2005, 07:39 PM but I hate the blue with blue interior. :werd: koopz 08-04-2005, 03:37 AM Engine swaps are great but i wouldn't reccomend one for the average person with a street car. Sure you can make a fast car with a swap, but in the end you are just bastardizing it 95% of people with rx-7 should stick to a good rebuilt street port and start from there if you look at it from the pain hassle/ bug factor of a swap and the labour+items it all adds up. In the end keeping the motor that came with the car in there is the best idea as any swap car unless loads of money is poured into it to do it right will just make and unreliable but fast car. skyburner 08-06-2005, 03:45 PM it's funny that the SBF is the engine choice here. Most people are trying to do SBC. I have been considering a V8 swap but really like to keep the rotary. Still can't decide. meddle 08-09-2005, 05:38 PM Engine swaps are great but i wouldn't reccomend one for the average person with a street car.

I've been around ford motors all my life. Obviously there are a lot more sbc enthusiasts out there. 91lx 08-10-2005, 09:33 PM i like the SBF. just dont try to boost 17psi on 87 octane like me. headgaskets dont like that. $100T2 10-31-2005, 03:47 PM I'll get some up when its 100% completed.

The blue interior sucks though. |
