Im glad I found this thread I'm also considering doing a rotary swap for a nice project car. Cels, you may have some friendly local California competition Ive read about the rotary 510's...and have yet to see a rotary 240Z. I put a brand new street ported engine in my FD when it blew...I have the extra sitting in my garage just gathering dust. It's the 13B-REW and I have an extra set of stock twin turbos, fuel delivery, upper + lower intake manifolds, throttle body, ecu, wiring harness, accesorries...etc etc. Basically I just need to buy a new set of apex seals and 1 rotor housing, and some minor porting and milling to have a nice new strong 300fhp engine. Somehow some of you guys can fit LT1's inside the Z's...so i'm figuring a nice lightweight 13B-REW should be able to fit. Ideally, i'd like to think the engine can be mounted centrally for an optimum weight balance...but since i'm not too well read on Z's I really have no idea if any of this would be realistic if I were hoping to keep a minimal budget. My RX7 already eats up enough money as it is If someone could please direct me to a 240 Z FAQ page with weight distr. info, engine compartment space, or any swap type of page, it would be greatly apreciated! I'm already eyeing a few shells, but I really need to get more research done on the car before I go ahead with this project. If not, I'm putting the engine in an '86 Corolla GT-S hatchback Cheers Mike -1993 Mazda RX7 R1 -new street ported 13B-REW -3mm apex seals -A'pexi GT spec catback with 3.75" piping -A'pexi Power Intake -A'pexi Power FC ECU -3" downpipe -ACT S/S Clutch -very loud
