- No mazda right now
I tried searching (not really good at it), but I was wondering if anyone has ever thought
about doing and engine swap for the RX-8. Like changing it from the rotary that's in it to a MS3 engine. I'm not sure if its feasible, but the quick benefits I see are:
-Better reliability
-None of the flooded engine issues
-better mpg (not a big deal typically, but $4-5 does make you think)
Since it's a Mazda to Mazda, I don't for-see there being too many difficulties, but again, I've never done this or read about it. I know it will cost some money, that is a given, but it would be a project after all.
-need new motor mounts
-tranny and axels
-have to get the wire harness meshed
So my question is: Has this been discussed? If not, how does one go about researching the feasibility to do this swap?
Thanks
