Coming back to my first love. Rotary pics
Well I build a 2nd gen in 2001 and I had to sell due to my first born son arriving soon and I needed the money so I sold it . It was a gxl body with a complete power train swap. Engine and tranny, driveshalf, rear end all turbo 2. Now I’m older and a successful entrepreneur that wants to get back into rotary. But I notice its gotten way harder to get parts. So my question is should I find a na and swap a turbo 2 engine with na tranny? Definitely going full stand-alone this time

While an NA should be easier to find, I think you would be better off just searching until you find a reasonably complete T2 and start from there. That way you'll have the more robust drive train parts; you really don't want to run a high HP/torque turbo motor with an NA transmission if you don't have to.
