Doubt it. those cars are too expensive to do anything extensive like that. it could be done but why after you just bought a 25-30k car.

Agreed. Give it at least another five years or so, then swaps such as these will definitely be more common...

I've seen a few people put Nissan V8s in them, but that's the closest thing I can think of.

Beaflag VonRathburg: Do you know of any web sites, for the Nissan V8 swap?

Thanks.

Not really. When ever I go to Books A Million to pick up GMHTP and Engine Masters I always look at all the major car magazines and that's mostly where I've seen them. Super Street, Honda Tuner, MM + FF, Modified Mustangs, and many others, got to know what the enemies are up to.

i dont see the point. we have a g35 down here with 750rwhp with a 3.8l stroked twin turbo vq35de. theres no real benefit of spending that much aon a swap into a car like that.
a 240 for example is much lighter and a great handling paltform. plus hinsonsupercars makes a mounting kit for the swap. Theres also a shop down here that has put a ls1 in a miata.

If the Nissan VK45 will fit an LSx will fit better. And they still had space for twin turbos.

That twin turbo V8 G35 is in a Super Street I have at home on my book shelf, didn't think of that one. It was done by Top Secret.

Here's a link to some RX7s with LSx engine swaps. It kind of gets off topic, but still has some good pics.

7 flats requires a bit more then 950 HP. Brian has went bests of either low 9's or VERY high 8's. It's never really went cleanly down the track on a consistent basis though.

And yes, there are quite a few LS1 RX7s around here.
