I thought that was kinda weird too, but he did get the car BAR'd so how bad can the swap be?
Then again, I am not sure what exactly they look at when you bring in your car to get a swap BAR'd.

yes thats a horrible V8 to use for an FC swap, Iron block and about 80 lbs heavier than an GM LS, also much less power potential

I so wanted an RX7 in high school.
No joke, I have a friend who bought one and he dropped out of college because of working to keep his FD maintained and modding it.
Totally not worth it in the long run. That dude's going nowhere in life now pretty much he bought the stupid RX7
Cursed car

It's wicked, just wicked but I don't have the time/place to do what I want with it (yet). A 2yr old dyno sheet shows ~370rwhp @ 5800.
