Amazing. I used to hate the idea of these LS V8 engine swaps into a Rex, I thought the rotary power plant was the heart and soul of the car and that the big V8 would upset the balance of the car.

BUT - then I saw your car! That looks incredible, such a pro job and a really smooth look. GLWS!

This car is just perfect, this is actually what I've spent the last few days looking for, that or a clean 240 with an LS swap.


This car is located in Florida correct?

Everything i've ever read says it actually helps the balance of the car and gives it a true 50/50 ratio. The LS is lighter then the rotary with it's turbos

Using the aluminum block, heads, plastic intake I could see this to be possible.
