EDIT: Ok, ok. I'll post a pic. Heres my engine bay freshly taken about 5 minutes ago. I finished ALL the loom last night on all the major harnesses. New from the last pics that were shown is the harness along the passenger side feder and the main harness from the firewall to the radiator. All my mods that I could think of are in my sig .

That's how Rotary engines sit in the car. They are not centered either.

So stock... When are you going to start modifying that thing?
Anyway, I'd just quote you for seeing that marvelous engine bay again. This is what I would like to have a poster made from, and hang at my bedroom wall... (wife might not agree...)

Last summer's project, 13b street ported, open secondary 6 port. Fed by a Weber with Japanese 6-port intake manifold. The carb and intake manifold will be up for sale in a few months because next summer is fuel injection.
