Hey guys whats going on, my name's Chris I'm from waterloo,iowa - joined the forum to learn all I possibly can from you geezers =P, your prolly wondering what my subject line was about.....I'm building a 1988 Mazda Rx7 for which I'm doin a Small Block Chevy V8 Swap in.

I grew up around cars like 69 Camaro's Nova SS's Yenko Chevelle''s and so on and always had the need for speed and the love for the sound of a V8 but also had a wide range in taste ranging from old school muscle cars to triple carb v12 ferrari's and everything in between. The reason I chose the rx7 playform to build apon is pretty simple.....light weight, handles great, has the weight distribution of basicly 50/50 which is quite hard to come by and has the room for a SBC to top it off.....seemed like a plan to me, I love old muscle cars but the heavy weight of these cars always got to me, power/weight ratio is a huge thing to me, so anyways I hope to learn alot from the fellow board members and hopefully you guys wont take that my car is an import to heart even though its powered by american muscle. =D
