your not going to turn 9000 with a stock 12a, but they are cool motors.Anything more than 6500 and you need to upgrade the internal oiling system.Plus they can't breathe that good without aftermarket intake, exhaust and porting.

I have a 12a with a 465 holley 4bl,header,and aluminum flywheel in a rx7 I used to auto-x and hill climb

got bored tonight and decided to see where the motor was goin to fit.

so now i think this is where the motor is goin to be mounted. it does sit just a tiny bit farther forward then id like, but to get it moved back id need a custom oil pan. so its good where it sits.

heres a few pics...






yes, thats where my EDC is goin too. this things gonna have air like none other.
