I got a rotary engine for free....
 

Well like the title says i got an engine for free i pick it up on monday from my school. I cleaned out the compound at my school and saw it. I told the teacher i like rotary engines so he said i could take it if i wanted it. I need some info on them so i can tell if its still able to actually run..I'll post pics as soon as i can.

What engine is it? 13b, 12a...10a??

Im not sure what kind.Can you tell me what to look for to tell what type it is ?

it's imprinted on top of the block.. middle-ish specifically

Thanks for the info.I'll post the type on monday.

its a 20B :D

Well i took a look at it today and its a 10A. So if anyone here can help me out that would be great.

Extremely rare engine! Whatever you do with it, don't junk it.

i wont.What is this engine most likely out of ?

This page lists rotary engines and the cars that they were used in.

Like was said earlier, these are very rare engines. Parts are hard to come by.

i wish i had the $$ to buy it off of you

I dont know if it will run though. he says it was outside for a while..It has a flywheel on it and some black oil pan. and there might be an exaust manifold on it i cant remember.

He also gave me a magazine called CARMAG from July 1984. It has a write up about the Rx7.If any of you want me to type it up and post it just tell me, its all about the '84 GSL-SE.

lucky lucky :-P

Wow, that is definitely quite a find! :)

The closest thing I have is a '73 12A. I feel jealous.
