You should keep the rotary and make a rotary powered blender or somthing. Itd be more economical than Top Gears LS2 powered blender, and the rotary would be much better suited to its new job.

LOL tell me about it.. JUNK!!

I haven't see that site yet, I'll have to check it out. thanks for the info

I have a 88 FC... it's a 10th AE TII. It runs but it's not even close to fast enough

I'll post pics tonight but there all on my Sprint phone... so you should feel my pain, it's gonna take awhile.

Sprint & Rotarys = Worthless

Welcome to the site, from Fredericksburg myself.

Good luck with your swap. Im not sure how they are priced, but M&M Auto Parts always have several LSx motors for sale, you get all accessories, harness, computer with the engine and its not all hacked up like some places. Last time I was there they had 2 or 3 GTO motors in the showroom. Worth a shot.

Good luck

Nice car Jay. Lots of rotary guys making the switch to LSX here lately. Good luck with the project, and make sure to keep us updated on the progress.

i'd love to dig into a rotary engine... unfortunately, the g/f would probably put the kibosh on another project (got 2 at the moment, both taking up space in her garage). but i am a fan of rx7's (both fc's and fd's), and fc's can be had for cheap!

good luck w/ the ls swap! those are becoming pretty popular w/ the rx7 crowd.
