rotary re
the rotary swap is interesting i have seen one in an 89 ranger 2wd and they replaced the engine and tranny w/ a 6 speed out of a wrecked 97 rx7 rz model, it was sick to say the least, the twin rotor engine w/ oversized twin turbos cranked out 637 hp on the dyno sheet and the rear end was geared 3.98, produced around 135 ft lb torque, cant remember the exact mods done to the engine but it was fun to say the least, guy ended up being tight on money and sold it later, i rode around in it, the bed was cut out and had two seats and a makeshift dash i guess to lighten it up, was lowered and basically set up like a drift trk suspension wise w/ oversize brakes, basically from what i could tell he took the body off the trk and dropped it on the rx7 frame w/ engine and tranny on it, the old car was rear ended and shoved the rear bumper thru the back glass, the rear end was salvagable and had a new driveshaft made, and used a fluidyne f150 radiator, but since the engine was so small you had all the room in the world to do whatever else you wanted, he short dumped the exhaust underneath the passenger door, loud raspy but fun to ride in. if you want my opinion, if you have a wrecked one where the body is fkd but the rest is there, go for it, its worth having fun w/, but keep in mind that its going to act like a sports car, not a trk hauling stuff, but will haul plenty of ass!
