'83 3.8L, 50 MPG, big brakes

[chc]

Devastating news for you all and our thoughts are with you at this sad time. He passed over peacefully and that is a blessing.

Thanks guys! Very kind!
IT'S ALIVE ! Finally got the V6-swapped RX-7 to start, on the second try! First try the fuel pump leads were backward, because the pump wasn't labeled
still gotta get to the clutch release

That's a big milestone, especially on such a big project

I got depressed, then I had no enthusiasm for this project, then I got engaged, now I'm married. The car is inspected, smogged, registered, and being driven weekly, but isn't done enough yet. The speedometer is 11-12% pessimistic, engine vacuum is reading low for no apparent reason, first gear is nearly too tall, fifth gear is essentially useless below 50 MPH, but it pulls really strongly from 1500-5500 in first, at least as well as my '95 Z28 convertible ever did. ( 4L60E, 2.73:1 )
I may add more pics later, dunno yet.
Anyone wishing any interaction may email me at 1idcsr@gmail.com, I check that every 2-3 weeks.

Interior is mostly done, car is daily-driveable, and the owner wants to sell, no "dialing it in".
Any offers?
Any V8, any trans, any axle for the right bid. Likewise delivery.

I really can't understand why a car that drives so right hasn't sold, but time for a perfectionist redo, with an LSx V8 swap, another rear axle swap, fender flares, much wider wheels and tires, time to humiliate some Ferraris and such on you tube to shame their owners into paying me to turbo-LSx-swap their cars.
Most of the parts i already installed will be for sale.
