In all honesty, I'm not sure why anyone would riducule your thoughts of dropping a rotary in your ride. Your part of this community no matter what your building or how your building it. As far as fuel effiency, who the #$@$ cares. There are guys dropping big blocks in their rides that are getting 5 gallons to the mile.

And your project.....a small and neat package. Should work out fine. I may have my hands on a 3 rotor twin turbo out of a 94? RX7 twin turbo. The 3 rotor on the later models is a custom build. I had the pleasure of running the same guy a couple of years ago with my 04 RX8. He literally flew by me like I was tied to a tree. I was going to buy the 3 rotor from him then to drop in the RX8 but decided to just leave the car alone other than adding a Greddy turbo. Instead I will be dropping it in my sons 68 Mark III Spitfire. Size matters especially for my sons project. Man those things are tiny. If that falls through I'll drop something in it like a motor out of a ZX6 or something newer. My Genesis rotary got 16 miles to the galon when it was new and still gets 16 after installing the turbo system. Correct me if I'm wrong.....my 02 LS1/LS6 will be getting close to the same. So for me, it would be about size and weight for a vehicle as small as a Morrison or a Truimph Spitfire.
I wonder who's going to cuss me now?
