Nice! Give us some details. Looks like its a 13B with a holley double
pumper and a 3G oil cooler up front, those are my best guesses.

I'd like to do a rotary bug someday and love to hear about
how folks have solved various issues like radiator placement,
oil coolers, exhaust etc.

Looks like a modified RB header turned around and exiting
through a single large muffler. Is it loud?

Upgrade your ignition to DLIDFIS or 2GCDFIS. Great job on the motor mount frame to fit the FC weirdness.

well... its a 13b that was fuel injected but I took the easy route (to avoid wiring) using a racing beat intake and holley 650. The ignition I snagged from a junkyard 12a. I custom made the stainless exhaust from scratch with a flow through muffler. Its kinda loud The transaxle is a freeway flyer setup, previously built to handle the 1900 something cc aircooled engine that was in it. (the old engine had ok power but leaked oil, got hot, and just kinda sucked...) Disk front brakes with front and rear sway bars were previously added. The radiator came from a newer Hundai and the oil cooler came from a 80's Chevy pickup. I used a Kenedy adapter/ clutch and flywheel kit. The rest is all hand made, brackets and linkages from scrap metal and junk I had sittin around. I used spray paint to help it go faster. It was all done on a tight budget mostly for fun.
