Nice! Please post more pix... especially of the engine. I need to see it to believe it.

Having a clean engine bay doesn't matter to me at all, this thing isn't the best looker. The engine and transmission are still in good shape for now, until I use my horrible driving skills to destroy them.

Not a LT powered FC. I had a Turbo-II FC a few years ago, I blew the motor and the guy I sold the car to did a LS-1 swap. I would love to have that as a DD.

The LT engine is an old school corvette engine. I think early to mid 90s.
So yeah, $4k isn't bad considering the shit loads of work that needed to be done to swap it in.

For a car like this I don't know how you guys are determining the price being too high. Are you looking up RX7's on KBB and adding the "corvette motor" option?
This car is practically a one of a kind piece. I'm sure there are other V8 powered Rx7's out there but it's not like this is a factory option and I'm not aware of anyone who makes a pre built kit to drop a V8 in.
I was looking at a 1971 Porsche 914 with a V8 stuffed in (and there is a company who makes a kit to do it), unfortunately the car sold to the 1st guy who showed up and went for $3000 so the seller definitely left money on the table.
To the OP, I think that car is F'ing badass. Don't paint it to look pretty, people get more upset when they get blown away by a car that doesn't look nice.
BTW you should ask the Mods to change your name to "willgetawayifchased"!

I haven't decided what color to paint the car yet. I am going to go with a satin clear on it no matter what and then I plan on painting my 3.2 TL the same color but with a glossy clear coat.
