I found a place that sells the Dart aluminum block for like just under $4000. Does that sound right? The iron block is like $2000. That's twice as much for the aluminum block. Seems kinda high. I was expecting closer to $3000.
I'd like to do a big bore (4.125") 3.47" stroke stroker (that's 371 inches) with AFR heads, a custom cam, Victor Jr. and a carb to slip into a 1st generation Mazda RX7.
If your getting a dart i assume your like any of us, YOUR going to go allll out, so it can hold around 2k horepower, half of that is 1k (my goal) and when you got that much POwer i dont know how much 80 pounds will do on your et.
But i also would have liked the aluminum one, i was thinking of polishing it but my engine builder made fun of me so i ended up with the iron 165 pounder. I hope you get the aluminum one. Peace
The idea is not all all out power for drag racing. It's tons of power but in a VERY light package to retainall the handling qualities the RX7 already has. Plus who would suspect a little RX7 to have a hulking V8 Ford in it?

*Droolz* I also want to do that some day. RX-7 or Mistubishi Eclipse with a 302 HO ditch all the crazy electronic compact crap and go straight muscle. I wonder how a V8 would sound with one of those rice burner mufflers?
