I have a 1967 Austin 1100 4dr that I bought originally to put a badass motor in - ie:wankel. Problem is it is a few inches wider than a mini and fwd. I started my project and during teardown I bought a RX-8 and have spent my time with that for the past couple months. Now back to the old car. I have contacted Kennedy Engineering for some well needed info and product advice but I was wondering if anyone here had any additionnal information to help me out.
I would really like for it to remain a fwd vehicle. I have the engine bay totally empty, front subframe out. Now I'm hoping for some info (hope this can be done) or I'm just going to put in a or 1.6l prince or v-tec = last result.
The car:


proof that it has been done.

Really doesnt seem like it would be too difficult to make that car RWD why not just do that? Unless you want to maintain a stock look, then a FWD rotary would be pretty damn cool. Gluck with the project

thanks! If it won't fit sideways I might have to go rwd. It actually has a big trunk space to work, I would like to keep it fwd.

Sourced a triumph spitfire frame and mounting a 13b-msp -----rwd. Planning on using a datsun rear but not totally sure yet. Also doing a body drop.
