302 powered Mazda
Thought I'd share my progress with ya'll on my 302 powered RX-7. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/252290/7
For some reason no text is showing up that I write for the website, and it won't let me add more photos right now. I was just going to add in these photos tonight... I finished painting and assembling the motor.
Post up, let me know what you think!!

Ok next, I buy the adapter kit, drop in the motor, wire up the car with some PAINLESS WIRING switch panels and fuse blocks.
I have switched up the tire sizings. Front = 190/60/15, Rear = 235/75/15. The rears are 4-5 inches taller than stock size to help mainly with the 4.10 rear and drop the rpms some. Plus I think it fills the wheel well nicely and gives it a nasty looking threatening stance. Just picture a 4 inch cowl on the hood, stock rims all around and the front end is going to drop another 3 inches when the motor is dropped in.
