Next project
Thinking of buying a RX8 with a blown engine, think i would be looking at fitting a normal engine in it rather than a rotary. What would be the
easiest engine to use, don't mind changing the gearbox as well if i have too. Suggestions welcome.

BMW V8?
Or Lexus V8, not sure about manual box though, maybe Supra?
Would a straight 6 go in? Plenty of BMW or Jap options. Or Jag V6?

I like the idea of the charged duratec as that sort of keeps it in the family.
To my mind its got to be not to heavy and around 230bhp and reliable or there is no point.
