nope, i first heard about it from my friend, he is buying a first gen rx7 with a wide body kit on it. looks like a little slant nose porsche, he is buying that to one day put a lt1, t-56 in it. the car is coming from portland oregon. and after he said he was gonna buy he talked to me and told me that the guy he is buying his car from has a friend that is selling a 2nd gen with a sbc. so the next day i look on ebay and sure enough there it is. i talked to the guy for awhile and we made a deal on the car. he showed me a 69 camaro that he has and if he treated the rx7 like his camaro... then i aint worried about nothing. i will attach both pics for ya, check them out
