Yep, that corvette was also mid engine. It seems that GM never went through with production becuase they couldn't get it to the emission standards of that day.

what's the story behind the burnt FC? Who's was it? I know a guy with a 10AE with an LT1. Not my cup of tea but I wonder if it was him?

All I know is that the guy had his fuel lines too close to his v8 header!
I took the turbo out...

I love these swaps. It combines the excellent LS1 V8 with a lightweight chassis that can handle beautifully. My next project car will probably be an FC V8 swap.
Does anybody local have a swapped RX-7, 2nd gen or 3rd gen? I'd like to take a ride in one, check it out, chat about the swap.
