Don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against you or your decision. I'm just remembering the last few posts here on these forums where the topic starter was talking about replacing the rotary with a piston engine... total hell.

Tell that to a Puerto Rican, they'll laugh in your face. The only engine they think blows is the 6 ports 13B, other than that they'll make it fly! Anyways I guess if you are really into swapping engines the GN V6 turbo is the one to go
