Alright guys, I've been contemplating this swap for some time now. Over the last couple of months I've been gathering parts and was getting close to getting the big stuff out of the way. Last week, I found a swapped car on here with everything I wanted and then some, so I bought it on Sunday.
First off, here's the car that will be getting the swap. It's a 1990 FC GXL with the amazing 4 speed automatic and mint running 1.3L N/A rotary. Now, I have absolutely nothing against the rotary - it's pretty cool actually. But for my application and bank roll, it's not the way I want to go. This was my first car that my dad helped me buy. I've had it for four years now (I'm 21) so it has a lot of sentimental value. That said, I just don't enjoy driving it like I think I should because of the lack of power. I already have the motor sold to a guy locally for $500 locally, which I think is fair. The body is 9.5/10 as is the interior. It's the perfect candidate.






My goal for this car is something like this: I want a car I can take my girlfriend to dinner in on a Friday night and then wake up the next morning and take it to the track (will be capable of doing road courses and the drag strip, but it's mostly a street car). It will not sound civilized, but should otherwise drive that way. Hopefully I can run mid 11's without any power adders. I may add a 100 shot later down the road, but this is insane enough for now. I paid $5,200 for the car. Here it is (or a picture of the motor anyway, the car itself isn't worth writing home about):

The going will be slow the next few weeks because of school, but I have a month off for winter break and hope to accomplish most of the swap at that point. I will be adding nicer/stickier wheels and tires and coilovers, etc. after the drivetrain swap, as well.
