3 rotor question
 
I was thinking about buying a blown 13b and rebuilding, and turning it into a 3 rotor. Is it cheaper to buy a 3 rotor or turn a 13b into one?

You may want to research this a bit more.You can't just slap 2 rotor engine parts together like a sandwich and make it a 3 rotor.
Just the Shaft alone is gonna break the bank.(a couple grand).
You can source out a 20b engine but then again you would most likely be rebuilding it.

rotors and rotor housings are the same, probably the front and rear stat gears, and some other nicknacks, but the e shaft and irons are different, so its cheaper to buy a 20B.

Thanks for your input. Now lets say i bought a 20b rebuilt it and wanted to turn it into a 4 rotor. I would obviously need a a 26b eshaft and a few different things, but would it be possible to add a new rotor and housing to the 20b turning it into a 26b? sorry if noob question
