hey george... like i was saying, the kit i have is already engineered. the hard part is done for you. its a COMPLETE bolt in process. if you can drop in a stock rotary and trans and bolt it in, you can drop this V8 and AOD in using this mount kit and custom driveshaft i have. and there are FAR less wires to run the V8 than on the rotary. theres like 7 wires total, its very elementary. I know a Hilljack w/ a 350 in his RX7 and has no access to the internet and knows absolutely NOTHING about RX7's. if he can do it, i know AnYONE can do it.
w/ 300rwtq, itll put a 2600lb car into the 12's. it wont be hard at ALL to make 300rwtq, guaranteed. the fact that you can remove alot of the rotary-related peripherals and controls and parts and powersteering and such will offset the added weight of the V8. you should come out to be right near the same weight as it would be with a fully loaded GXL automatic in stock trim. if the weight balance is off, just put the battery in the trunk and thatll help even things out.
