anyone know any good sites that have first gen rx7 suspension and brake upgrades, i do not need any motor or tranny parts, i am doing a 350 swap in it...thanks in advance (no flames, if this should be in OT just move it there)

V8 + RX-7 swaps are COOL!

But sorry, I don't know where to find suspension stuff :p

You might want to specifically go with ground control, since you'll want a higher than normal front spring rate to handle the motor.

thanks for the forum, suprised i didnt find it, searching the web is such a PITA

*edit* so ground control makes a pretty good setup for them...

I think your thinking of FCs (2nd Gen), but wouldnt be surprised if the first gens got V8 swaps.

yeah the first gens get swaps, apparently when you remove all the rotary related stuff the 350 only ways 75 to 125lbs more, whats nice is i have a 350, tranny, and all that, and the converison kit is 500 bucks (engine mounts, tranny crossmember and driveshaft) so basicly its a fast lite car for mininmal cost, not a bad idea if someone has an old rx7 laying around

Seen it done to SA22/FBs, FCs, and FDs. It's allll good.

1st gens end up with an absolutely ridiculous power to weight ratio.
