beautiful car! Would definately drive it.. I think it would be cooler with a 4.6 DOHC from a Cobra, but that is just the Cobra lover coming out in me.

That is one import I would not want to line up against on a Friday night. My brother loves RX7's and I love Chevy's, sound like a match made in heaven for us.

Yikes that would be a tight and heavy fit those OHC heads are HUGE haha. Cool idea however gotta love how the LS1 maintains the great weight distribution of the RX7.

The LS1 is all aluminum, and is very light for its size.

Isnt the Cobra engine an iron block and the heads are aluminum? I know my brother has a 98 cobra and it is an iron block and is wide as all get out.

Also I think the 03-04 blocks were iron mainly to take more pressure from the boost the car makes. Any way what do I know Im a Chevy fan.

took it to the dyno and Sac raceway

dyno showed 535 HP at the wheels -I thought it was high considering what was on the motor.

4-9
Jon -who put the car together for me, took it to Sac Raceway and ran a
11.7 @121 rolling off the line.

Looks like a field car to me.

(inside joke right Rob?)

You really need to see this car in person. First rate build and the way it sounds. You know it ain't no rotary.

If I had the extra dough, I would be all over that.

I was just about to ask what kind of times that thing would put out.
Rx-7s were known for being Very light and very good to great handling.
