A 20b is not a simple drop in and it is fairly hard to do let alone keepup and maintenance on three rotors I would just get a mega streetport rebuilt motor...if you know what your doing there are plenty of rotary shops in washington that will accomidate your plans good luck if you do go forward

Your looking at atleast a $12000 project my friend. If your serious about this visit the 20b forum and ask them. But don't ask them about how to do it or they'll burn you to the ground. Search the forum engine for info on the subject. Slater

Drive your car over to PINEAPPLE Racing. Write a check for $30,000 and MAYBE Rob will put one in for you!!

With the new Haltech E11s, 20Bs might become more reliable as far as engine management gos. But still, it is expensive - even more so for a nonturbo car.

Yes it is pricey.....but if u say u have it then go for it....don't let other people influence a goal that u have set for yourself.....if u really want a 20b in your car then get it done......as long as u r aware of the complications and cost and not let that stop u....as the old saying goes where theres a will theres a way.....good luck if u go through with it.....personally a 20b drop top is a bad *** idea would love to see it and drive in it....

I've decided that I am going to get four separate single rotor engines and mount one to each wheel. The front two will be connected to a mutual turbo, as will the back two.

Maybe I could have a third rotor for the back wheels... I would have 5 rotors total... How many liters would that be? 3.25?

I wonder if one Haltech could run it... Where would I put the gas tank? What about a transmission? Maybe I should do it to a Cadillac or something... I would need the extra room...
