What a waste.......

Remove the compact light weight, powerfull engine that gives the RX-7 its edge, and replace it with a pinto derived P.O.S.

It's such a wrong thing to do ..

I thought about slapping the short block chevvie lump in one .. but those rotory engines are so shallow.

The owner told me that the cossie had better torque and he makes better timing in drag racing (400 meter).

btw the cosworth is a very nice powerful engine in my opinion and with great timing in drag racing for it's category and also in history of rally.

I saw cosworth engines on ford Escort mk1 and 2, Anglia, and Cortina's. That's common in Malta to install other brand engine on their car or a powerful engine on a classic car.

yeah but its a ****le engine for a Ford engine, its just blatantly not on!

well that happends to me too. my first car was a ford sierra mk1 with 1.3litre engine. that engine wasn't economical and a cosworth engine was little bit economical. Her milage was 20miles per gallon.

then i put a toyota 1c diesel engine with no turbo. the economy was veru good. from 20miles per gallon then it was 45miles per gallon and also the money. from lm10 per week it was lm10 per month but that time the diesel was cheaper than the petrol.

in malta there are many cars with toyota 15 diesel with or wothout turbo. the 2c turbo engine and also the 15 and 17 isuzu engine.

what you say about that?

[Chyownster]

yeah but you are destroying the fundamental principle in which the RX7 was made for if you change the engine for a Ford thing, no matter what it is!

It was a very common swap back in the 70`s with the NSU RO80. Remove slightly under developed Rotary and replace with Fords relic 1.7/ 2.0 V4

Seemed a strange thing to do back then as well.
