I almost fell on the floor from laughing. Man, I order to put a big block Chevy in the Rx, it will require to be matted properly with the right tranny and diff. To do this will require a lot and I mean a lot of "fabrication". Even Jesse James will have issues. You have been watching to many episodes of Monster Garage. By the way, the 8 does not have power steering, it is electrically assisted so I do not know what parts you are actually taking out of the engine bay. SEEING is BELIEVING. Show pics.

Considering his "engine" pic has a white paint part in the top, and doesnt look ANYTHING like a rx-8, I thought it would be easy to figure out.

Not to mention he was asking what a cart engine mount was in another post.

while i do think its BS, remember alot of FDs have done this wih great results.

I think it might rok just as well in the 8, tho it could be harder due to the FM configuration.

Nothin wrong with what Mike did with his Civic... he did what HE liked, and pretty tastefully too. Take it easy there bud - no reason to start that again.

I too like the idea of a V8 in an '8, but I think this is prolly BS too. Love to see independant confirmation...

Removed rear and passenger seats - how does this affect 50/50/weight distribution, especially left-right with the seat gone from the right side but present on the left?

Hey guys, just thought I'd update you on the mods I've been working on. Some of you already know the mods I've made to the interior - pretty much gutted it to save weight. Took out the back seats, passenger seat, and any parts of the dashboard etc I don't need.
The first mechanical mod I made was taking out the cat last month...this past weekend we finally replaced the engine.
I'll post pics soon.
That's a pretty surprising mod for a liberal? Either you or not for the environment or are a hypocrite?

All you guys are sure having a hard time taking a joke.. C'mon, Why bother with a puny V8 swap, when you can drop in a Viper 8 Liter V10.. Now, that'll twist those tires..

Not to worry, my politically savvy friend. All the materials I removed have gone to great environmentally friendly use. I have a small farm which includes one cow among some other farm animals. Cows produce an enormous amount of methane in their flatulence - I hooked the catalytic converter up to my cows rectum to reduce some of the harmful emissions. As for the old rotary engine - I modified it to run cleanly on vegetable oil, and it's now powering my tractor which I use to plow my fields of organic produce. This is the smoothest running tractor you can imagine, with a 9,000k redline no less!!
