a swap i wanna do.

I have an 86' AE86 Corolla that hasnt been treated nicely(not by me, mind you) and the engine has all sorts of problems. i want to put in a V6 engine, posibly Nissan, like the RB26dett, or the K series motors.(those are nice) anyone with advice or another suggestion email me. BassJazzStar@hotmail.com

the ls1 doesnt weigh much more than a standard rotary engine, i saw a test between a rotary rx7, ls1 rx7 and a ls1 camaro, (all had equal power) and they finished in that order in a track test, only because the rotory rx7 had a better suspension setup than the ls1 rx7. i beleive the magazine was sport compact car or something like that.
