I decided to do what many RX7 purists believe is\u00a0blasphemy\u00a0and drop in a V8 in to the car but it&#8217;s something that I&#8217;ve been wanting to do for a while. My first love for cars growing up was always muscle cars and it&#8217;s an appreciation I still hold onto today. I decided now was the best time to do so since everything runs good and I could sell the parts and try and bring my net cost of everything down. I&#8217;m lucky enough to have two local friends that have done the swap already so they can help with any questions I may have. My friend Jaime was a HUGE help in pulling everything out as I&#8217;ve never done it before and he knows these cars like the back of his own hand. Here are some pictures of everything getting pulled out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/2012\/02\/16\/fd-heart-transplant-part-1\/img_1352-2\/\" rel=\"attachment
