I'm gonna do this when I finally find a 302, any serious fabrication you need to do? I know I will have to buy the motor mounts and crossmember but what else am I gonna need to make custom?
should have done a 240sx ls1 swap or something cause this defeats the purpose of the rx7 even if you dont like rotaries. that being said i bet this car is fast as fuck and mobs like none other and i would in no way be embarassed to drive that machine. beautiful work. i love the hood lol
@raceguy514 nope I found out from a guy that helped build the movie cars that it was fake the RB didn't even run!, they towed it during the scenes of it moving, wtf
I do not know who you heard that from, but I have personally seen it run, but in the movie they used 5.0s to do the drift scenes. Only used the RB to do the close up and take off shots
@prdgyair Ok so perhaps not the original prototypes but as it turns out in 1965 they did do some Wankel powered mustangs, I have seen a few pictures of this, just in case anybody else reads this and thinks we're wrong...I double check my info.
@Blackinterceptor999 yeah, if i heard correctly there were twoor three built around 64-65, and only one remains, SOMEWHERE... strangely enough i saw one of these at a ford show about 15 years ago, and since then they have dissappeared.. seems like ford should have those!
@prdgyair I saw that one it was red, it really should be in the Ford museum but I don't believe it was Ford that did the work on it, it was some coachwork company i think don't remember the name but they worked with ford on it...More Googling should provide more answers...I could also prove to my cousin that Wankel's and Fords belong together!
Where did you get the cowl hood?

@Blackinterceptor999 one of the original mustang prototypes was a rotary, so, why not?

@prdgyair I'm pretty sure you mean Corvette, the mustang started out with the inline 6 based on the Falcon.
