It's time! Forshizzle!
Well guy's it is time Forshizzle!
I was talking with my friend Tristen last night about the future of his 2nd gen. RX-7. He proceeded to tell me his engine is ready to be installed, and it is at his house. I was quite supprised, and asked him, "are you going to put a 350 in?!" He says, "yeah! My 350!" I thought then asked, "what 350?" He then told me the tale of his 350 build up over the past 2 1/2 years. "Well," I said, "what is the output on the beast?" He looks at me with the wickedest of wicked grins  , says, "dynoed 537 @ the crank..." ME> He then proceeded to say, "Yeah, but I did build it up for thee 300 shot of the N2O though." ME> I coughed a couple times then wet myself. Then I got to thinking??? I asked "Do you still have that old 1st gen. X7?" "Yes!" he said, "It's in Daytona." He proceeded to fill me in and he said he would sell it to me for $300!!!  "CLick!" was the first thing out of my mouth!Well here is the point I am @! I will purchase the $300 1st gen. RX-7. Then proceed to put in either 383 stroker, or a 5.0 fuel injected mustang engine!...CLick! What are you guys opinion on the idea. Comments? Questions? Answers!?!

It won't be drivable without slicks, so I'm thinking he is just going to race it on the track. With this kid you never know though?!

The Porsche/RX7 Nazi has arrived... <marches about, salutes>
There are two engines for the first gen RX7, the 12A and the 13B. The 13B models are much harder to find, so it's likely we're talking about a 12A powered car. The RX7 and the Fox body Mustang were both developed by the same team in the late 70s, and there are many similarities. It just so happens the 5.0 HO engine is a bolt in conversion on the 12A cars. Everything will fit from the factory, the oil pan will clear the crossmember, the headers will clear the fenders, and the tranny will fit very nicely. If you're not picky about which engine you're going with, go with the 5.0 Ford, as it's the easiest to put in. If it's a 13B car, then a SBC would be just as much work as a Ford engine, and cheaper to build. These guys will answer all your questions. http://www.torquecentral.com/index.php?s=

350 definitely gets my vote. But uhhh...If you're going all out...And planning to do a rebuild ANYWAYS...Why go 383? How about 396? Or better yet 401(like was in my old Z28)? Or if you're really crazy, why not 409? If you're talking Chevy V8s, bigger IS better! heheh! But yea, I'd say go with the Chevy, definitely. If you do are you planning to run nitrous on it?

well....a 5.0 in a 1st gen if its a direct bolt in sounds good to me, cheep, easy *in comparison to banging out the areas for a larger engine* and cbass will be wet for you forever

That is why I am leaning towards the 5.0. You can't beat a bolt in! Though I do like the chevy engines. I have a gang of friends that have shops, and/or work at race garages, so having the engine put in would not be a problem. If I do go Chevy it will be the 383. Either way it is going to be fast as all hell!...CLick! I know a friend of a friend that will build me a great 400+hp engine for about $1500 or so. I was just wondering what the prices on some blocks would be.?! Self I would love to do a 396 or 409, but then comes in the factor of getting them in the car! So I ??? Well I will go over to my bud's house and get some pics of his gen 2 for you guy's! It will be a nice little treat...And Cbass, when the piccs get up....keep your hands on the keyboard!

The engines I mentioned are bored/stroked 350s
 383, 396, 401, 409...All from a 350 As for engines...Are you just looking for the shortblock? Or do you want a complete(heads/cam and all)? If you just want the shortblock, definitely check out the http://www.camaroz28.com message board classified section. Can find them on there all the time for really really cheap($300 sometimes!). It's a HUGE community over there, so if you post up what you're looking for you will get replies very very quickly. Always someone looking to sell. Also lots of complete's selling over there for really good prices too. I'll also look around a few different places where I can get some really good deals and see how much they could get you something for. If you ever do decide to go the Chevy(or Ford actually) route, I'm positive I can find you something for a really good price. So just let me know exactly what it is you're looking for

My advice is to check out the Buy&Sell parts section for some good deals. My friend was looking through there last night, and found a built 5.0 for $500...
If it's a 12A car, go with the Ford, as it's the easiest, and even a bone stock 5.0 HO will do 225hp with dual exhaust, if not more. You can build a 350hp 5.0 for not too much, especially if you source the parts well. 350hp in a 2350lb car is a very good power/weight ratio Find out what year and trim package it is, that can make a huge difference.
