oohhh FD RX7's are sexy! A V8 swap in one is a great idea. I don't know what kinda build you're going for, but you would have a sweet drift machine if u built the suspension right. I've seen v8's in the FC rx7's but not in the fd's. Here's a site that will have a lot of suspension, and other parts for the rx7, but it doesn't look like they have motor mounts or a conversion to v8 kit... http://www.enjukuracing.com/categori...azda-RX7-FD3S/
