Waste IMO, but kudos for making it "work."
+1 On E85 for me. Less money for OPEC and ridiculous swaps.

ive seen the video many times and think its pointless. but i wouldnt take this guys word that he knows who did it personally and has seen it, theres no way theyll ever make it awd and theres no way the transmission weighs 50lbs unless i misinterpreted that through the poor english. so im calling a big bs on this one..

yea its was 50lbs less... my b. but im still throwing the bs flag.

LS1 in my friends RX-7 retains the same F/R weight distribution as the rotary motor.

no way. the weight of a rotary is like a 1/3 of the weight of a LS1 unless he put sinder blocks in his trunk to compensate

Yes way. Do some research. An LS1 RX7 is not that uncommon and it does retain the same weight distribution.

Never mind the hack job that is required and present on even the most meticulous of conversions

I meant to say "hack job required on the frame". I have seen some sterling examples of installs that still had to sacrifice what I would consider major integrity.

I can't believe that an ls1 is gonna retain the same weight ratio as a 4 cyclinder.
Also don't think the all wheel is possible and if it is i bet its gonna break parts left and right.

WOW, no turbos or intercoolers or two intakes with a V8.
