Now you're starting to warm up to the idea...
+1 for your car being badass with a LSx swap.

first of all my car isnt stock lol nor a 302. its all about your budget on how fast ya wanna go. i seen a boosted 4cyl mustang running 8s, its all about how big your wallet is lol. my buddy has a 331 with a 150shot and 5speed and runs 10.4.

thats kool im sure he spent a pretty penny and will not do ANY better than that 10.4 unless he sprays more and blows it up, what he could've done is sell that stock motor and buy the ls1 to begin with and shoot it with 150 and run 9's save money and run faster

If your going to throw that 5.3 into a RX7 are your worried about getting
it smogged. Cause I put one into a 85 El Camino not sure yet if the ref will pass it.
Calif law says you can't put a truck engine into a car
if the truck has a GVW of 6000# or more.
Mine came out of a 05 1500, SilveradoGVW 6100.
I am going to argue if need be that the El Camino is a truck.

Any thoughts or if I can be of help, let me know......
