I'm here.
Due to a MAJOR delay in income ( I kinda told the boss F U I'm outta here), the project was TEMPORARILY set aside....
My focus has been directed from building a 4-rotor, to getting at least one car driveable. I'm picking up zyounker's 79 RX7 Widebody, and it will be my "toy" until I can get enough dollars to even START on the whole 4rotor thing.
As far as the actual 4-rotor itself, one of the main things that I am trying to figure out is how I'm gonna be able to get *enough* horsepower to get my goal of 264. Kurgan talked to Don Marvel of MarvelSpeed, and Don said that "rotary Bonneville cars typically run in the 10k+ rpm range... that high of revs on an 'experimental-at-best' e-shaft, and a LOT of nitrous is a near instant BOOM.
I'm hoping this doesn't mean that it's not possible.... because that means I HAVE to do it, just to prove EVERYONE wrong.
If anyone has questions, comments, concerns... shoot me an email, or a PM, or even an IM. I'm on AIM and Yahoo. All that stuff can be found in my profile, if you're interested.

3, 4 and 6 rotor engines are available!
A 20B engine in a FB has been done several times, for example by Hitman as detailed on his website.
Mazda made at least three four rotor engines which were tried in the R16B.
Hurley Engineering [UK] have built over 30 three rotor engines based on the 12A ,and they are lighter than the stock engine! For details and price go to www.hurleyrotary.com. They also produce a 4 rotor [600hp] and 6 rotor [900hp].

Which is exactly why someone needs to make a 10 rotor (using 12A housings) and throw it into an old caddy, or an F-350.
