LS-1 FC Swap on Horsepower
« on: March 16, 2013, 11:34:42 AM »
I was watching Muscle Car this morning and I saw that next weekend on Horsepower they will be doing an LS-1 swap into an FC RX-7. Just thought I would share.

They usually have all of the episodes available for streaming right after the show airs... at least historically.

You can make a barn door fly with enough horsepower.

Retirement at last.  Wife's not happy, I bought a '66 Rustang instead of paying off my F150.

Lol Horspower Tv is usually about 10 years behind the curve. This is about accurate timing.

Will be great to watch them go through the process and it sounds like they are going to do some suspension work too. If we're lucky maybe they'll actually do some performance testing

They started the swap 3 years ago but they have been waiting on Granny's mounts.
