Post Crazy Aussie Mazda Swap

Hi there everyone, just thought i'd drop a couple of lines about my new dirt circuit car which i finally finished on friday to race in Arno Bay State Titles on sunday. I was running a vl with a 5lt and after all us guys with v8's getting our butts kicked by a little AWD turbo 4cyl i decided to join the AWD team, however nothing beats the sound of a v8 so i thought why not a 5.7lt AWD setup out of an Adventra?. After 4 months of 16hr days and not seeing the wife and kids i finally got it finished! A little Mazda eunos 30x coupe with the VY Adventra running gear and front suspension and a VY SS 6 spd rear diff setup (to run same ratio) jammed into the body shell. The car ran and handled very well for a stock motor and the first drive proving to be very competitive with alot more potenial.(still didn't beat that lil 4cyl though). With a bit more development on the auto trans and a cam changei think i may just give the little sr20t a hard time!! so if anyone knows a good person to talk to on the AWD trans let me know. cheers for reading and any suggestions welcome!

Thats a differnt platform than what I usually see used for swaps. I expected to see an RX7 with a vette V8 dropped into it.
