Alright guys, I can't seem to make my mind up. I recently bought a '93 rx7 without knowing anything about rotaries. The more I have learned I have decided to do what was originally unthinkable, swap the wankel for a v8. I spend lots of time hating on v8s, so I am a bit conflicted in the first place.
Anyways, everone knows an LS1 is a better motor. But it costs around $3,000 for a pullout swap. I have access for a full LT1 swap for a $1,000. For a extra $600 he can throw in 'vette aluminum heads and a big cam.
I believe in doing things right once, so part of me saying wait for the LS1. Then the dsmer side of me just wants the best bang for my buck, which is the LT1. Like I said everyone knows the LS1 is better, but is it that much better. As far as I know two biggest drawbacks are optispark system and steel block. If that's about it, LT1 here I come. Please, give me some opinions.
