Geez, I'd have gone with a Rover/Buick/Olds aluminum V8 myself, but 
then, that's been done...
Thinking of a Rover V8 in one of my first-gen RX-7s, simply because 
of weight issues and no been-there done-that syndrome, not to mention 
slightly easier fitment than the SBC/SBF. Maybe a Lexus or Olds 
Aurora/NorthStar V8? MegaSquirted, of course! I've also seen one with 
a Buick GN motor... <drool>

1979 Red RX-7 GS - FrankenRex - the only one that runs!

no more bubbles in the coolant!
1984 Tornado Silver RX-7 GSL-SE Project Car Mark II - The Grey Mouse 
- no motor :(
1970 Black Olds Cutlass S Sports Coupe - Snoopy - not-quite musclecar
1980 Yellow Suzuki GS450L - as yet unnamed - recovering...
2000 Teal Chevy Astro Van - The Green Brick, my wife's - towing and haulage

Not to mention the parts cars...
Geez! Where did all these cars come from?
