Evan's New Rx-7 Project Options

[awd4kicks]

We Just picked up a new project today. It's not a DSM, but I thought it would make a fun little race car. Then Evan seen it and showed some interest. So being the cool dad that I am, Evan will get to drive this car for a while. Then when he's done, we can get all kinds of serious about making into a track bullet.

Here are some rough pictures of the project as it exists:





The power plant is the key to this project value. Don't worry the hood will be one of the first things to go.

A couple of weeks ago I located a running 5.0 for an excellent price, pulled it out of the vehicle and put it on the engine stand.

Today Evan and I removed the old 302 out of the RX-7 as well as the trans . I yanked out the kobbled-up single Flowmaster muffled exhaust and put it in the scrap pile.

We will be transferring the serpentine equipment from the blown up 302 over to the running one along with an intake and cam upgrade. The running motor came with modern Ford ignition and a new alternator.

Now I've got 2 newer Edelbrock carburators, two aluminum intake manifolds and a GM HEI to sell.

Josh will go through the T-5 and make sure it's up to snuff.

Evan & I plan to have this puppy on the track for Slo Pny Drag Day in July.

Beyond the power train I'd like to locate some decent front seats and a real hood.
