best idea ever.

[heptofite]

so my buddy is gonna buy my ranger, so i won't be doing the 4.0 + supercharger, so i have a new cheaper project.

i have another friend who has a wrecked RX7 that he's gonna sell me the driveline out of, and there's a bronco 2 without an engine in it down the road that has a clean body and he wants 500 for it.

so i'm gonna drop the rx7 driveline into the bronco and drop it.

You wont like it a lot... no real tq in a rotary, will have no grunt what soever

 

[heptofite]

it's a street truck, and this particular engine puts down 133tq at 3500, so, if i put an automatic behind it, no big deal.

So you'd be making a Bronco RX1. The RX stands for "Rotary Expeirimental."

Not the craziest engine swap I've heard of, but pretty darn close. Toss a bigger turbo an a set of 4.10 gears on it & might scoot pretty good.

Sounds like the makings of a LeMons racer to me.

Bigger turbo will be after making it a peripherial port, 3 rotor, hehehehe

Is there an automatic that works with them things?

 

[mentalbreakdown00]

yes sevens came with autos, you can mate a t-5 to it though, or a c-4 with an expensive housing

Is this idea better than the time that Urkel built that rocket-powered drag car out of an Isetta?

Nope.

Maybe.

But neither as good as Jim's idea to start TRS! Without TRS, we wouldn't be discussing this crazy idea now.

BroncoRX1....i like it.

 

[mentalbreakdown00]

RX1 2, 3, 7, 8 is taken, so it'd have to be something like BronRX3

I thought he pulled the jet-prop from a Chinook.
