I know its terrible but the guy i just bought a 91 L wagon off of .. has one with a brand new trans but the engine is begging to go.. he wants super cheap i think ill harvest the fender since mine is dinged up.. but I have 2 13b rotarys sitting around ones a turbo then i have another for parts and ect... it might be fun to throw all that in for a racing car.. i would be machining alot of parts but it could be an awesome car... any ideas?

I'm sure with enough money and time it could be done. Everything would be 100% custom. I heard that a couple people swapped rotaries into older GL or DL's back in the day but I have no information or links for you.

To me, a V8 and rwd would be pretty sweet combination.
