13B-REW to LS1 Perspective

My FC gets phenomenal MPG (30 to and from DGRR) with no emissions, full exhaust and intake with an FCD. So no, I am not making 400+hp, but it is more than the 18 year old stock suspension can handle right now.

I like LS1's and all, but consider the price of rebuilding. Pop a rotary and you might be out a housing, a rotor (or both) and a turbine wheel (maybe). Throw a rod in a V8 and tally up that bill.

Cost effective rebuilds is what keeps me rotary.
