13b engine size
I am thinking about converting my mgb to rotary power. I just love the power and feel of the rotary engine. Before I invest a few grande in a front clip from a japanese rx7 I was wondering if anyone had the physical dimensions of a 13b. I know my engine bay is plenty long for a rotary but for some reason I am thinking they are overly wide. People drop chevy 350s and such in them all the time so it shouldnt be a problem but I would still like to know. I really dont want to have to do any frame rail mods.

If its a turbo... and you won't be running accessories such as power steering, a/c... just a waterpump and alternator.... its tiny!
Look at some pics of some 'heavily' modded turbo IIs that are running just what they need for the engine to work. It's insane how small the powerplant is.
Sorry I don't have any actual dimensions for ya, but if you can fit a 350.... you'll fit a 13B with NO problem.

lol, compared to a piston engine a rotary is a tiny box...
the only thing that makes a rotary it's common size is the intake/exhaust and emissions components, you can manipulate the engine size with varying aftermarket parts though.
the engine is only about 16" wide, 20 or so inches long and about 20 iches tall, it is abut the same size as a small block chevy short block (heads removed).
