This should be in the engine change forum, but... Whatever!!
Last weekend I got a ride in an old 240 with a Mazda Rotary engine change.
Here in Las Vegas, there is a lot where there is an impromptu car show.
There was this dilapidated looking two door Volvo there with the hood up, and I couldn't resist taking a look.
Well, to make a long story short... the dilapidated part took a back seat once I coerced the owner to take me for a ride... East on Sahara to Maryland Parkway.
The inside of this old Volvo was flawless, and the owner said that he wanted to get it all put together before the paint.
He said that he spent two years putting this Mazda Rotary conversion together... and you couldn't believe the acceleration.
My God!!! It was phenominal!
I still can't believe it.
Forget the Ford engine conversions... this conversion was just "In(blanking) credible!!!
Sorry, George if I posted in the wrong place... but I couldn't believe the workmanship of the conversion.
He said that the actual big problem was the linkage between the transmission and the original placement of the Volvo shifter.
Converse... eat your heart out.
This is a really SWEET conversion.
I actually got to drive this machine, and I love it.
No two ways around it... this is the engine conversion for the 21st. Century.
