Re: 1984 GTS Convertible 7MGTE swap

Here is my .02 cents:
While I also have a convertible, I would never put a 7M-GTE into it because I would like to keep it stock and someday it will be a classic. However, I give praise for Dan for doing this effort since it will be (as far as I know) the only RA65 convertible with this swap. It would be awesome if it gets done. It is always nice to see people do things to their cars that is original and creative. I used to own a Datsun 240 and the "purist" cringe of people dropping V8's in the Datsun's. However, have you ever seen those V8 converted Datsun 240's? Simply awesome.
