Has anyone here ever carried out this swap, looking for info on it Seen one using rx8 box adapter plate custom prop bmw diff an rx7 shafts also who to make engine and box mounts
One of those swaps where if you gotta ask you aint likely to accomplish it. It's going to be a completely custom number unless some USA company provides bolt-on bits so it works the same as any other engine swap: if you can't fabricate and wire - it aint gunna happen. And if you posses those skills; just horse on and use your noggin - it's the best way of getting the right answers rather than relying on some internet hero unless they have specifically carried it out before (again, id be looking to america for this). I very much doubt you could pay someone to do it in the UK either whereas in some countries this is a viable option. Best of luck bud, I reckon just give it a crack and ask if you get totally stuck
Off the shelf parts are available to stick the V6 engine in Obviously it's no 1UZ, but with all the bits you'd be able to do it in a weekend.
Hi lads cheers for the replies, im well able for all mechanical stuff and electrical stuff just not the actual fab work so would need gearbox mount being made engine mounts and diff mount, also custom prop. There is a german lad who has done this swap and tbh it doesnt look that bad, 1uz 330d box adapter plate, 740li diff and rx7 shafts. The car will never see the road again and is only for track events. Ill be moving to ireland end of this month and hoping to find someone there to do the fab work. Dennis kohler is that lads name you can see his build online.
