help me make my motor fit!!!
hey guys i am in great need of space under the hood to fit a fan. i am swaping a 5.0l into my rx7 to bring the car back from the dead.
my problem is that the water pump and crank pully is to close to the rad to fit a fan on the back of the rad. the front of the rad is not an option for a fan either because of space and i hate push fans. http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...84_34_full.jpg man i wish i took this pic with a tape measure behind the pully as you can see the room is really not thier. i have looked at some options and think that swaping to a 94-95 5.0l water pump as it is a bit more then an inch shorter(closer to the engine) so my question how do i do this? the bolt pattern on the pump is differnt then the 89 water pump i have now. any help you be great, i want my car back with this sweet 5.0l spinning tires all the way down the street. oh and one more quick question, can a fuel rail from a 5.0l that has the throttle body on the other side fit on my 5.0l? will the fpr hit anything? any body try this? thanks again |

5.0 isnt a complicated swap for an RX7.... you have the wrong radiator

Listen to adder, he has owned a Rx7, but more importantly he knows his sh!t.

in addition. It would be wise of you to swap to ALL sn-95 accessories. find a 94-95 5.0 smashed up in a junk yard somewheres and take all the brackets and accesories.

i dont think i have the wrong rad, i bought a grannys swap kit and this rad came with it. i have allready moded the rad brackets to get the rad to mount lower and as forward as possible. allthough the swap might not be to hard to do, i have had some problems getting the swap to go how i want it (i want this to look like mazda built the car like this)
this is how the rad mounted before i moded the bracket http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...784_1_full.jpg the white mark is were the end of a 94-95 water pump is. also grannysspeedshop.com the guys i bought the kit from said that running the 94-95 accessories is an option to make the swap fit nice. |
RE: help me make my motor fit!!!
i know i need to swap all accessories and brackets to do this, i cant a smashed up mustang in a junk yard around me YET. to swap the water pump and all i still need to swap front covers so what do i need to do this?
