I know that the rotary motor is known to blow up if not taken care of properly. So I decided on a LS1 motor instead. I just wanted some thoughts or ideas on the build. I love the car and the idea of a motor thats less than 100 lbs. heavier being put into it. Especially a motor that can definately produce more power and take more of a beating. I think its my way of building a car that I like while keeping the american muscle my dad, uncle, and grandpa expect me to have. Besides, who doesn't like the sound of an american v8 roar?

This is a picture of what my build should look like when finished, except without all the decals. The second is the owner of wrongmotor.com. Funny how his says corvette on the motor.

I calculated a 50k building price...

But I recalculated today, the price is now 23-24k for the full build including car and a brand new LS1 Motor. :notworthy: I can just go crazy for another 10k and get a LS7 motor for the car. But I don't know if I am ready for that much power.
