help on engine choices for my ford v8 swapped fc rx7 build

[tjzyx]

here are the links to what the engines weigh just so people will quit bitching.
ford : 460 (this is with everything to make it run) http://www.britishv8.org/Triumph/DanMasters.htm

rotory: 400ish- not this is with a turbo setup and its on a forum so take it for what its worth http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=250486

with that said 50-75 pounds isnt a big deal when im also deleting smog, ac, alum gt40p heads, and relocating the battery to the back. I WILL retain factoryish weight distribution.
those rotorys are fun to drive though. ill give them that. iv owned a 88 rx7 gtu before and it was blast- just always wished it had a little more power. and by a little, i mean alot :evil2:

If you read the site you linked it said the weight of the ford with accessories is 519lb. That isn't including the turbo you plan to install.

You came here asking for help with a ford engine swap in an rx7 but are not appreciating the opinions they're giving you. Many have said SBC or ls1 because it's better than a 302 but you completely refuse to listen to what is said.

It seems you made up your mind before even making the post.

Many say LS because you wanted more power, LS's make more power per bolt on than your 302 not to mention they're 90 hp up on it already.

IMO I greatly dislike the 302 from the foxbody maybe it's the fact everyone tries to rock the 302 like it's some kind of amazing engine in its stock form or because most of the ford 302 fans are ignorant of all else beside the 302 5.0(4.9).

Just my .02

^ +1 He said it perfectly. You already made up your mind before making this thread so why ask?? It's clear the consensus is that the 302 is garbage in comparison to the LSx but you won't hear it so let's just end this thread.

I'll never understand the reasoning behind making a thread when you have your decision already set in stone.
