rx3 12a twin dizzy motor question
I have the option to buy this engine from a friend. My question is can i make it fit in my 85 gs? I have a spare single dizzy front cover but will it bolt on? and will my trans and everything else bolt up?
The reason I want this engine is first off, my first teardown and rebuild, I want to make my owne EFI intake and use the megasquirt ECU I have had so much luck with and tune it for a dailly driver. My current 12a in the 85 runs strong and i dont want to open it up, this way if the engine pops that i rebuilt i wont feel so bad.

Id take a set of unknown condition early housings vs. later ones any day.
Something about the old twin dizzy motors is just so cool as well. They just look oldschool, and if you tear one down its wild to see the mammoth seals on the rotors.
Theres just something oddly compelling about those ol beasts..They may not be the birth of the rotary engine, but they are definately a piece of its history!
