I have a question though for anyone who automatically shuns the 302 or any V8 swap in an RX7. Why? Just because its a Ford engine in an import? I just don't see why its such a big deal to so many people. I won't even THINK of posting this kind of stuff on RX7club, I'd get banned, rofl.
Because true classic import enthusiasts don't go against the grain like that. I've NEVER been a fan of brand-swapping. People putting Chevy engines in Porsches and shit like that? Hardcore classic Japanese car fans have no room for that. You have a Mazda so it should be a Mazda engine under the hood. It just takes away from the nostalgia of the car. You want a Chevy engine, buy a Chevy. That's the way it is viewed. Later, QD.
