      Lemonificent So if someone LS swaps a Ferrari 250 GTO is alright? There are some cars which come with some special engines. I don't give a fuck what the owner wants. If he wanted an LS he could've got a Corvette. Swapping an RX-7 is just because of stupidity or because he likes to anger rotary fans.

      Lotus most of these old RX-7s are dead by now, rotary engines are not long life engines, LS fits inside of anything, put two and two together and you find dropping in the LS to be cheaper then finding a replacement motor for this car.

    • @Lotuseless
      @Lotuseless 6 лет назад +2

      Yeah I know right. The comment was sarcastic tho :s

    • @M.C.Salazar3837
      @M.C.Salazar3837 6 лет назад

      Don't exactly know your experience with the motor but I can assure you that a rotary lives longer than that. Mine lasted 110,000 miles or 177,000 km, before a rebuild was required and it costed me 3,500 in total to get it rebuilt, it was an REW 13b

    • @deepbludreams
      @deepbludreams 6 лет назад

      +Makaio Salazar 110K is not a long life, thats a *short* one, in today's engines, most of the big V8s will hit 250-350K before they need any sort of rebuild other then simple maintance

      @NoBrakes23 6 лет назад +15

      Because the LS engines are plentiful, reliable, relatively inexpensive engines that don't weigh a lot and take up very little room. Doritos are neat, but when you get tired of their issues, the LS is arguably one of the most practical options. All of the other common swap choices, (2J, SR, K, EJ,) will change the sound and characteristics of the car, so no matter what you swap into your RX, you'll make someone mad.
