Building a Fuctional FD From a Roller

I was thinking of maybe acquiring a FD roller and building it moderately.

First off, please post up some links to reputable rotary engine rebuilders and transmissions.

If there is any general guide to building a roller, please post that also!

Thanks.

I dont think your going to get much of a response or responses other than "search"

Roller + engine + or - tranny = Cheapest way to get a FD, unless you want a blown one which you have to pull anyway


(assuming you can save some labor costs by working on her yourself or have a shop hookup)

To do it right, it's going to cost you more to build up a roller than it will to purchase a moderately modified running FD.

I am also building a roller and I will not be coming out ahead. As you get into it, you find a ton of crap that just nickel-and-dimes you to death. Buy a working/driving car.
