how hard is this swap? do they possibly have 1st gen interchangable parts?

 

What year 626? As far as i remember, only the late 70 and early 80`s style 626 had rear wheel drive, at least in Europe. I have seen some 626`s over in Australia running rotaries, so it should be possible. And to help you out a little bit in your searching, the 626 was not named "626" in the USA. I think they were called Capella or something!

 

a good friend of mine has a 13b bridgeport in her 81 (might have the year wrong) 626... i also know of a few others that are in the process of being built... i will see what info i can get off them for u

 

I own a 95 626, as daily driver and wouldn't try to swap a rotary in... So you'll need an older one (RWD)

 

yea it's the rwd one i believe it's a 1982 626

 

79-82 626 was RWD.

 

83 and up 626's are all FWD.

If I remember correctly, the Mazda 929 was RWD up to its end in the mid '90s -- that might be another choice to consider.

 

im not really trying to come across as rude, but im already looking at a 82 626 coupe, and would like to know if the rotary swap into the rwd 626 coupe is hard or not, and what might i need?

 

as long as the car is rwd, I'd guess a swap isn't that hard. I'd suggest taking a look at the size of the tunnel to see if it can gave room to a gearbox from a rotary, and then you'll need to make the proper engine/tranny braces/brackets. You'll probable need a custom driveshaft (have no idea about the 626 rwd). Once the hardware is fixed, it's no harder then any engine swap. If you're going carbed it'll be a simple matter of putting everything in the way it's supposed to be.
The main issues will be: is there space (most likely: yes)
exhaust (needs to be custom built)
driveshaft
brackets
