Am I the only one who gets irritated by stupid music distorting the beautiful symphonies of engine sounds?

The V8 still gets better fuel economy than the rotary, lol :P

Sounds badass. Clip should have been longer with some technical & performance details.

The TD RX7 was one of my all time favorite looking cars of all time. This was a rare vehicle to start off with, so why remove the rotary? For the Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift movie we brought a 1000hp turbo version of this car which is substantially more powerfull than the vette engine.
Don't get me wrong Zang, I love the sound of this car but the balance with the big engine and the value of this car went down to 20 fold.

@Humanfuse
I guess I learn something new every day brother. That sounds like you had a lot of fun. How did you keep all that torque to the ground? It must've been light as a feather.

@mediaeinstein Im a huge fan of the Rotary engine,i had a 1985 GSL-SE RX-7 with twin side draft 2 barrel Webbers etc.,but this is one hell of a project with that V-8 in there that is why i posted this,plus the 90's RX-7's are a great body style in my opion.

@ZANGADO
Don't get me wrong. I knew no matter what I said on this it would come out sideways. I love all vehicles in general. No question this was a major undertaking and looks and drives clean. I just have a hard time with changing the breed of car entirely. So I'll hypocrytically retort that I'm debating on building a car as we speak with a BMW S85 V-10 powerplant. DDR Motorsports in Florida makes a McLaren chassis and body which a local craftsman wants to refine. About 50K in parts and a lo More..

Didja know that the 350 small block is even lighter than the factory straight six? Pretty insane going from a 2400 lb car to a 2250 lb car with double the HP & Torque. My cousins got a 73 with a 240 block, 280 head, cam, triple webbers & headers. Scary as fuck when he shifts into fourth @ 100+ MPH & you fell the ass end slide out a bit. Always better to be the driver, than the passenger. :@)

Once saw a guy with a Mazda Miata that had a 5.0 Mustang GT engine in it. I believe they're called Super Miata's. Took me a sec to realize the sound I was hearing was, in fact, coming from that tiny car.

Should have just bought a vette or added more power to the rotary.
This?
This is an abomination.

You could have put more turbo and got the same results! Nice car though

I've seen nicer FD3S's which were converted. Hinson Supercars is the company responsible for making the motor/tranny mounts for the RX7 FC or FD chassis.
I have a LS2 (6.0 from a GTO) engine inside my 1999 BMW M3, Dave Hinson custom built a drive shaft for me, the rest was bought at Vorshlagg Motorsports. These engines are absolute beast mode.
My really good friend just sold his FD3S, except, his was powered by a Supercharged LS6. That's a Corvette ZO6 motor for the people that don't k More..

@mphatik
Is that your M3 on youtube bro? I think I've seen that one before or perhaps it was a 5.0 mustang i was thinking of. I own a 95 Dinan OBDI 3.0 and it's been bulletproof. I upgraded to Euro control arms & front end wiht solid balljoints, X-brace and a Scorpian tin can from the cat back. I'm sure I've replaced every electronic switch but mechanically, no complaints with the torture I put it through.
