ok, it would be a lot cheaper, and a lot cooler to just rebuild the rotary... What car do you have ?
Anyone can make a 12 second car.. But can you make a 12 second car run reliably ? That isn't cheap and quick.. it takes time and work..

I don't know much about piston engines, honestly... But I would imagine that 5.0 is heavier than a 1.3 litre 13B.. The car wouldn't handle too well... putting the 5.0 in there would be much more difficult than rebuilding the 13B.. perhaps having someone port it for ya... and do the usual modifications... if Rx7 didn't have a rotary, I probably wouldn't want one... Do a search for anything on the forum and you will find answers for it...
