Actually, I think a 13B would fit easily under the hood with a little firewall banging. RE's are pretty damn small... a large watermelon if you will, at least compaired to the massive chunk of metal that is under the hood of my father's 3.2 CL. The only problem is that there were never any FWD rotary equipped cars, thus making a RWD conversion almost a requirement. A 13BT engine can be stripped of the turbo and carb'd for ease of transplant and higher availibility or parts over the older 13B 4 port engines. Better yet, use a Haltech E6K fuel injection system and a nice big single turbo...:thumbup:

But any Rotary was already rejected from this project... but I'll keep fighting for it anyway!
