Default 83 RX7 - Change of Plans for me, no more Nissan KA-T

From a 400whp ka-t setup





To the new Project....



I'll keep this going as progress continues. I've only had the motor a few days, so getting everything stripped down, trans bolted up, and mocked is pretty good progress i would say (happened all today. lol)

Problems i have run into so far, the 85 Trans Am T5 transmission setup i have, Flywheel doesntt bolt up to the 5.3 crank, stock manifolds dont fit (getting some LS1 block huggers), Need car intake manifold, need car alternator bracket, water pump, wiring harness, ecu. (let me know if you have these for sale cheap)

Other than those few small problems, its going smooth so far. Not bad for only 1k spent so far.

Oh, and so far, its fitting under the hood

What are you doing for the Oil pan.. how about more details on the mounts, Exhaust and any problem on fitting it in ?

I got a 79' that been sitting around needing a new engine !
