for xmas, i am the proud owner of a 1984 mercury grand marquis le.. this shit is dope. its posh. its got like 16 way adjustable seats and it's 'ride engineered' or so it says on the dash. its also got a big ass v8, which admittedly isn't that cool when the car weighs like.. a metric fuckton, but its bigger than any other engine i've ever had so points for that. now all i need are some wire hubcabs and i'll be ridin' like some sort of pimp. no driving the rx7 for me this winter. big ass ride=roXor.. comfy seats=pwnz.
word to your mother.

does this car have a 302cid w/ variable venturi carburator? if so I drove one like it briefly in HS (it was my parents old beater car, and the car I learned to drive in....lol) Several years after highschool (1997 maybe) I ran the ol' POS in several demolition derbies before I finally broke the driveshaft (original radiator in stock location still on the beast).
Ahh...the memories.:D

well.. the rx7 is currently without compression on the rear rotor, may just be a stuck seal, not looking good tho, so im not really sure. i don't think im going to worry too much except just the normal tricks to unstick a seal on a rotary until spring tho if its actually a dead hole and i have to look at either selling it, rebuilding it, or dropping in a new motor. tII conversion maybe? i dunno. if the motor is indeed 'done for', hey, it lived 19 years, not too shabby.

as for the motor in the land yacht, i don't know what it is exactly. its either a 5.0 or a 5.8 but thats all i know, i havent had a chance to actually look at it in the daylight with work and all. it does haul the car around with a reasonable amount of authority tho.

i think you should do the tII swap, that would be pimp. not very many 2nd gen rx7 in town done up. -
It probably does a have a 302. Those were an extremely common motor for Ford Vehicles in V8 applications. It is just too bad it isn't in a lighter vehicle.

its most likely 5.0 cause 5.8??? have anyone heard of a 5.8liter? 5.7 is chevy they are some bad ass cars -
351 is a 5.7 liter as well though....
-
really? wow...didn't think 1 cubic inch would bump it from 5.7 (Chevy 350 cid) to 5.8 (Ford 351 cid)....guess I'm wrong
-
ok...it comes out to 5.73 liters for a 350 and 5.75 for a 351....my bad

where did you get your engine specs from? i used this page because it was the first one that looked like it had what i wanted

i realize that... but that doesn't mean the numbers are accurate. people can refer to them as 5.7L all they want, they're still 5.8
102mm bore x 88.9mm stroke x 8cyl = 5.811L
True, never looked at it that way, I guess it comes down to metric mm being smaller increments than inches therefore being more accurate. Damn it, I just learned something on a site that is notoriously offtopic and flamed to hell. Thanks for ruining my day

I just converted 351 cubic inches to litres using my calculator...then did the same for 350 cubic inches.
