How NOT to do a 14K RX-7 LS swap

[Prince Valiant]

Worth the time to look through....I've never seen such shoddy work.

this wasn't simply a shop over it's head either...but one seemingly out to rip off a customer. A 12G swap, plus 2G for an LS6 upgrade? All he got was a regular LS1 and LS6 fuel rail covers :rolf

I saw that thread. I actually spoke to that guy on the phone. "Eat-Pez" does wiring harness modifications to simplify the LSx swap. He's not cheap though, but he knows his stuff.

Damn, that hurts to look at.

Ugliness does not even start to describe what that shop did

I threw up in my mouth a little...

[BAD LS1]

Looks like something that asshole we all know did to the famous blue Z06. It was similar quality and when you questioned anything on it, the responce was, "what? it runs and made big power, he didnt pay me enough to do quality work"

[Plum Crazy]

I know this guy who had something simmilar happen when having a no name hack job shop work on his car. He payed for a lot of work and got a half ass build in return. Its tobad there are people like this out there. I wont mention any names because there are mutual friends.

Looks like another high quality conversion... :durr

That build was interesting. At least it was a "conversation piece" before it got fixed the right way.
