Get the cage inspected / certified for the ET range you are shooting for before you go any further. If all of the tubing is out of spec, you want to know before you spend a ton of money finishing it.

[@TheBCninja]

@hammerheadz3126 I'm coming from my own perspective here, but I think a lot of car guys have a similar problem in their noggin. I have scope creep, and what started out as a project for A becomes A,B, and Z. Having learned that about myself, it's best to play it safe and make sure the chassis can be used in a few different classes of racing :) So while he didn't mention it, he could easily find himself down the road wanting to but being unable to.

FINALLY a drag build! You're going to love this Taylor. All of the technical stuff with a drag car is right up your alley..... and it's an FB rx7! My mom and grandma each had one and now I have an FD. So I love seeing people get into 7s

[@CameronWestermier]

So pumped for this build! You guys definitely found a cool starting point. I think it's gotta get a turbo ls build. It's proven for no prep, and you're most comfortable with it for tuning to the surface!

[@reclez100]

Nope something with less torque for the street like a 2jz

[@JackoTJK]

@@reclez100 the problem with a 2J and no prep is how hard you have to hit it from a dig for it to not bog. Not a lot of no-prep surfaces will take a 6500rpm launch. Turbo LS 1300hp isn't too difficult. 1500hp is where you start to spend a lot of time rebuilding them and fixing torched heads though. Maybe a built coyote...

[@helplmchoking]

Holy crap! Someone did an incredible job on the chassis, you basically never find an 'unfinished project' that isn't basically a disaster (even the original 'vette Taylor bought) but whoever did all that custom work really put a load of time and effort into it, that's some really impressive stuff.

[@Taylordrifts]

That’s a very good point. The first vette is a great example. Was worth it. But still had to do it all over again.

[@murkinstock]

For a second, I was like "oh no, hopefully not like the vette" but knew he probably would be mindful of that. Then he showed inside it. Wow, it absolutely exceeded my expectations. I'm pumped!

[@helplmchoking]

@@Taylordrifts and that was probably at the better end of bought-projects, it had a lot of good parts and some decent work even if it had its flaws and wasn't quite what you needed. I'm more used to needing to completely rewire, run new hoses and all that

[@nicholashouse1644]

Hey Taylor, what an amazing starting point! I've been wanting to build this exact build, so I'm excited to see it. My vote for an engine would be to keep it a small block incase the rules won't allowed boosted big blocks. I specifically love to see a turbo Coyote, however I know they are expensive. Next pick would probably be a big bore and Factory size stroke LS or LT engine. The common consensus from what I can tell is high rpm, high hp and less low end Torque.

[@ddevil4980]

🤘 Hell yeah, man, I've been looking forward to this ever since you mentioned building a no prep car!

[@Criscitiello]

What are your future plans with the Monte? I think a "Pro Touring" style of build would suit it well. Modern control arms and suspension components, brakes, wheels, tires and a reliable 400-450hp LS with ac and all of the creature comforts.

700 hp

[@NomisChild1]

Glad it’s finally happening! I’m one that thinks RX cars should stay rotary but you saying 1500hp means it’d have to be a gnarly one to hit that so I’m guessing an LS is in its future 😔

[@zethloveless7238]

Feel like it’s just too easy to make 1500+ other ways than a rotary. Considering for some engines that’s not even leaning hard on the block and internals.

[@Knuf024]

2 tears for the rotary boyz...

[@alexelrod242]

Not really, they juat need to be balanced and clearanced, cut some decent ports. There's really not much too them

[@ronnelson7828]

Turbo six-in-a-row? 80 lbs. of boost.

[@5lcalais1]

20bs easily hit 1500, at that power in such a light car it'll be capable of low 7s . We have 13b ones here in Aus doing low 7s too but usually only pushing around 1000whp as they don't need much more being they're so light. 4 rotor would be wicked though 🤔👌
