1979 MAZDA RX7 WITH BMW V8 CONVERSION

Up for auction today is a 1979 Mazda RX7 with a BMW V8 engine!  This powerhouse is backed up to a clutchless 5 speed transmission. with  overdrive. All modifications and fabrications were performed by me in my own  shop. I chose this swap because of the high output and reliability of the fuel  injected BMW 32 valve V8 with 4 overhead cams. I have been a BMW dealer  certified mechanic for years and this has always been one of my favorite  engines. This car has been my daily driver for almost a year and it's time to  move on to start another project. The goal of this car was to have a fully  functional vehicle with a ton of power that would also be great on gas with an  overdrive with the reliability of fuel injection for everyday driving. Unlike  all the lower budget V8 conversions out there that use the common inefficient  carbureted small block Chevy or ford engines. this one is practical with more  power. Custom interior with functional gauges (rare with V8 swaps). 2 USB in  dash charger ports. Auxiliary audio input for the amplified 4 speaker stereo  with hidden 8inch sub box. and custom fabricated center console with matching  suede on both seats. Also comes with functional ticker clock on the dash :).   Under the car we have a steering rack and pinion conversion with stabilizer  shock to improve high speed handling (no bump steer). Full custom exhaust with  cats removed and a resonator to a Magnaflow muffler in the rear. We have a full  throttle resonator bypass to get the V8 sound and performance through the  Magnaflow but also to have a quiet unsuspecting sound while cruising and idling  (no headaches from exhaust noise on a long drive). The transmission is a  manually shifted transmission with a patented "Clutchless H pattern" controller  from Getawaycarz. com. This setup will blow your mind how fast it shifts and how  easy it is to use.

The bad: The vehicle was made in 1979 so a little bit of rust  is to be expected. There is a little rust in front of the left rear tire as you  can see in one of the pictures. It is under the rocker panel so you can't really  see it by looking at it. Also there are a few dings and dents on the hood. All  the lights work properly but the headlights will not flip down.

A $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of the  auction ending or it will be relisted. Bidding starts at 1 penny no reserve so  winner takes it. I reserve the right to end the auction early because it is for  sale locally.   Delivery is available at a very reasonable price within 200  miles of Patchogue.
