Which is more difficult/costly Rotary Miata or 240sx?

I have been looking up and researching to figure out what project I should partake in, for the most part I have been sticking to the idea of buying a 2001 Z28 Camaro and Putting a new LSX Engine in it, simple and easy.. but I love imports too much and if I could buy a complete FD I would, but I cant even afford a FD Roller....

anyway I love the idea of a 13B Miata or 13B 240sx... but from what I hear they are expensive as hell and difficult, which would be a better project


also why have I heard estimates of $10k to do a 13B swap for a miata... what parts cost that much when I can get the engine for under 2 grand with a manual transmission?

or maybe both would be too difficult for my first project..

I 've seen the miatas converted and if done right the are extremely powerful and a blast to drive... I know first hand since my uncle has one with a 3 rotor.

dificulty will be the same, no matter what car you put the motor in.
though i believe you will get a better end product if you put it in a miata due to the weight of the car etc,.
