v8dats

thanks for all the comments! we are very excited about the swap. here is one more pic. the engine will be set lower and further back like i stated earlier. i'll keep you all posted on the progress!

looking great!

nice project! dare to be different!!

we have some rotary parts if you want them. we are doing this because you can get reliable 300hp at the WHEELS with the l28et and we dont have to rev it up to a 'race' 9,000rmps either. we wanted something different on a budget so an rb was out of the question and the v8 has been done so many times before. so many times..

sorry brandon but i couldnt resist!! just wanted to throw it out there and hear what people have to say. i think that the stock hood will fit although we are going to weld a z bulge (from the 280z)onto the mazda hood. im looking to get a shop big enough for the z and the mazda. once i find one,the mounts will be made and more pics will be posted. there is a lot more room than what people think under the hood of this car. the framerails are wider than the z rails and we will set the engine back a few inches further. right now the engine is just butted up against the mazda tranny and it sits pretty far forward. sorry brandon but the car is back home(u know 2hrs further). i'll keep ya posted!!

just wanted to spring new life to the ole mazda and why not an L28et?? more pics to come but here is a little teaser.still have to fab up mounts but it fits GREAT!!.

hey cool pic! hehe. cant wait for you to get back up here so we can all ride up to SEZ! been away from hybridz for a while but im back! i missed this place! congrats on the new project Derek!
