SL-C powerplant possibility?

Yes but with wings it can glide too....
LOL! Way to huge for almost anything on wheels.
Although I dont think its that heavy: website states 700 lbs / 317.51kg with transmission, from what I see a crate LS7 is 537 lbs.
A really good friend of mine does ALL the machining on the raw block castings...with his advice...NO THANKS.

Dang ol. My BBF is only 45 lbs heavier and bigger WITH the AC and PS pump but no carb.
Good to know! So, as long as you don't drive it, it will look awesome.

On second thought there is no way a LS7 weighs that much. I know my iron block big block Ford is 589 pounds as I weighed it on a certified car pad in my garage. An all ally compact LS7 has got to be well under 537lbs.
That's shipping weight, no doubt.
I seem to recall that J. Salmon weighed his and it was around 385, with exh manis, but without front dress.
458lbs is the fully dressed weight ...
537lbs would be the shipping weight with the crate included...

This http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/24421-j-salmon-rcr-40-build-4.html#post245108
is the link I was thinking about. He weighed the engine, with the Kinsler FI, and no front dress. It looks like the exhaust manis were included (but I'm not sure).
In any case, he measured 360 lbs. Does that mean the manifolds and front dress add another 100 lbs?
Confused, I am...
LS7 dressed engine weight with ALL accessories including PS:
:
The following is from the January 2006 issue of Sports Car International on page 25:
"The net result is a fully trimmed engine that weighs 458 pounds, only 10 more than the 6.0-liter LS2."
My LS1 weighs 452 lbs dressed for the SL-C.

Here you go.
12 rotor engine.
36 compression chambers...
Can you imagine the sound?
This engine just debuted at a boat show in Florida today.
Apparently, this designer/builder will be offering another 4-rotor option as an alternative to the Kiwi-RE 13b based 4-rotor as well as a 6-rotor engine.
Fran, how much wider and longer is that SL-C with an extended wheelbase

No real info on it yet. The designer has just put out teaser info for it over the last month or so.
I got these pics from:
Sexy 4 rotor shaft picture - RX7Club.com
The thread starts off a little weird though.
Molleur, you're in Florida. Why not wander over to the boat show in Miami

That's an awesome looking engine. Too bad it doesn't have pistons.

And will suffer from magic apex seal failures every 1000miles or so :idea:
Perhaps if it's turbocharged and a chimp tunes it.
In "uber" reliable n/a form, it may make more power at idle than yours does at redline
