Based on the storyline of the movie having been in Japan,chances are that Hot Ford motors wouldn't have been available for the empty engine bay.Different for sure,Not my style but a neat swap.

I'm not saying that the skyline motor isn't a good motor. It just has no purpose being in a 67 Mustang.

It's not supercharged, it's turbocharged. And it's making 340 to the wheels. So the car is making around 390-400 crank hp. And I assure you, that's w/ a low boost setting.

I don't know what's wrong w/ the looks either, considering everyone's infatuation w/ that ricer of a classic 'Eleanor'. Anyways, it's a nice car....

2jz swap, I like it. Everybody is calling this blaspemy but nobody ever complains when someone does a SBC swap into a RX7, 280sx, Miata, etc...
Erm 2jz = supra motor, rb26 = skyline engine. Nobody will put that into a rx7 because the rx7 already has a much better engine in it by FAR.

If you don't mind having to doa complete engine overhaul every 65K miles, and that's if you drive it easy. The wankel rotary is one of the most over rated engines of all time.

REbuild? just change the carbons. Yah the wankel rotary engine is one of the most over rated engines of all time. Like you said there must be lots of other 1.3L engines that can pull out 1k hp right? Also IMHO nothing sounds better at launch or idle
