You read this part?? : **…I see this is for the LT1. Do you offer parts to make it possible to use an LS1 ?..** …Yes, but it is not quite as easy. The LS1 powered 3rd gen on our site has had hood modification (cowl style hood). Although we sell the parts required, we do not promote the LS1 install as it requires modifying the hood in order to keep the stock steering rack location, which we feel is important. We have considered a few different ways to fit the LS1 under the stock RX-7 hood, but we feel they all have negative effects on the 3rd gen RX-7’s near perfect steering geometry… …lowering the rack induces bumpsteer. …lowering the entire subframe lowers the front roll center. …lowering the rack and outer ti-rod ends properly requires a narrower steering rack. **And last but not least…** lowering the LS1 for stock hood clearance drastically reduces your ground clearance!!! Your cast aluminum oilpan will be the lowest point, and can be quite easily damaged if it bottoms out or is struck by road debris. For this reason alone, we prefer our “higher” engine location for the LS1, **even for track cars!** Think of it this way…If you install a LS1 (stock F-body pan) under the stock RX-7 hood, your car’s ride height will be dictated by how brave you are regarding your oilpan’s ground clearance. For a given oilpan/ground clearance, our “higher” engine location allows the rest of your entire chassis to sit 1-1/2" lower, **resulting in a LOWER center-of-gravity overall** when compared to the optional hood-clearing “lower” engine location. Think of our “higher” engine placement as lowering the rest of your car around the engine. ---
