Hey all. I have a 1986 RX-7 with a Chevy 350 and T5 5 speed manual trans. Overall pretty clean car, straight and solid body. Looking to possibly trade for a clean, solid, running and driving turbo Miata. If interested, let me know what you have.





Below are some specs on my car:

-1987 Chevy 350 with 600cm double pumper Holley carb, wrapped shorty headers with dual exhaust all the way back, MSD ignition (recent oil change, spark plugs, etc..)
-T-5 5pd trans, new clutch, custom drive shaft
-Mount kits from Granny's Speedshop
-Newer fuel pump
-New 3hp mini starter thermo wrapped, new battery
-Enkei 17' rims with Toyo Proxxes w/ 80% tread left
-good brakes, 4 piston calipers up front (yes, they are painted a purplish color, but actually don't look bad with the color of the body)
-suspension is nice and tight
-interior is ok, could use nicer seats and a few miscellaneous plastic pieces
-Needs speedo hooked up (think just a ring gear, but haven't addressed the problem yet) and tach hooked up
-Approximately 130,000 on the body, don't know mileage of engine/trans
-Runs and drives real nice. Torquey.

More pictures and info available. Email me: mjmoonwalker@hotmail.com or private message me. Thanks!

 

Hey a local!

Thats the same swap I wanted to do with my FC before I sold it. Ever run it at the track?

 

Looks clean, i love me a v8 swap.

I also wonder what this thing would do at the 1/4.

 

It would be so easy to get 400-450 hp out of that.
it would drink gas though.....But in the form it is now, and a 600 carb with 5-speed. It might not be bad.

 

I'm curious what it'd do at the track as well. It's not insanely/scary fast since it's a more mild V8 but it does pull pretty damn strong, and keeps pulling. Plenty of torque on tap whenever wanted as well. If I had to guess and compared to other cars I've driven, gotta be somewhere in the 13's.

Apex- Pretty nice numbers your getting there w/ your Miata!

 

i would totally trade you if you lived closer.

 

Are those calipers supposed to be pink? Or are the really faded red?

EDIT: Nevermind, just re-read the original post...they aren't "purple-ish", they're pink.

 

Hey OldSkool... do I know you? You happen to work with Oceaneering often?

 

Disturbed: Where are your whereabouts?

KPLAFIN: You SHOULD believe everything you read. Not only are the calipers a purplish color, but the hood is actually the same color as the rest of the car, just a weird effect from the angle of the sun and filter on the camera

Arkmage: I have no idea what Oceaneering is and I've only been to Texas once. I'm afraid you are mistaken.

 

how much for cash?

 

I'm Located in NJ. little far from WI.

 

Ya, that's a little bit of a ride

 

Come run that thing at GLD Friday before you trade it!

 

+1 I want to know what it runs. That might just help you sell/trade it.

 

i want it :(
