    Except the main difference is

    Mustang (bad chassis) + 20B (bad motor) /= RX7 (great chassis) + LS1 (great motor)

    You obviously have never driven a Mustang setup for road racing, and have never driven a 20B powered car.

    Since I have done both, you might want to reconsider your statement.

    BTW - I do like the LS1 motor, just would rather have it in a Vette (I like Vettes), and a rotary in the FC.

    I have driven many mustangs and frequent SVTPerfomance almost more than any other site. And they will tell you as well, the Mustang chassis is not even near as good as an RX7 for road racing. Never driven a 20B, never will, don't want to. Sure they have great potential, assuming you have $10k and know how to make your own tools/spare parts.

    The stang would have better off with a 4.6 4v and a Kenne Bell or Helion Turbo kit.

    Stock for stock the FD is a better chassis; however, it is quite easy and cheap to setup a Mustang for road racing. It really comes down to the driver, the car setup is minimal until you reach higher levels of racing.

    20Bs are no more difficult to work with than LS1s. Both are excellent motors, bit h have their own quirks. For me, it's 6 of 1, half dozen of the other. I just would prefer to have the LS1 in a Vette chassis - Vettes are excellent chassises also.

    Thats a crazy swap. The only thing that I like about mustangs is how they sound, and now that car doesn't even sound nice. But its not my car, so props to the owner for building something different.

    Woah, you can't do that. My argument is specifically against the 20B, can't just throw in a 4 rotor...

    I'm assuming that the car is from Puerto Rico.

    I just hope it hooks up, otherwise, they should have dropped it into a 1st gen RX7.

    No. People would like to have the power of a camaro/ta/vette and the Looks, and chassy of an Rx7.


    The swap in this thing is so clean it's almost crazy. Not really my cup of tea, but props for doing it right.

    its not as far fetched as you may think. mazda and ford have a long standing partnership. do you remember 302 miata swaps? think of the capri turbo. the probe/mx6 and mx3. the focus, mazda3, and mazda miata all use dirivatives of the duratech 2.3

    \

    naw, the ford/mazda cars were mainly the probe/mx6/mx3/protege/escortgt/323/capri/ even the kia sephia ..they were mazda powered. The focus is mainly ford, and a euro ford at that the 3 is still a japanese car but they arent as close as the protege and escort were back in the 90's. The duratech motors are european built, but the Duratec 2.3 and the MZR 2.3 (2.3turbo in the mazdaspeed 6 and 3) they are seperate motors. But the 2.3 in the focus and the 2.3 in the mazda3's are the same. But nowadays u have the focus, mazda 3 and the volvo s40 shariing the same chassis.
