Rotary Swap Help Needed
 
So here is the deal, I have a Bradley GT. it's a kit car. It sits on a 1974 VW Beetle frame. I'm looking to put a turbo rotary motor in it. Because it is a kit car I am going to use all RX7 wiring. Since I have to wire the body anyway and I'm using an RX7 motor I figured this would be the best option.*

I have read some about the swap. I know I need an adaptor plate and I will have to do some fabrication work, but that's not a problem. I'm a machinist/welder so I should be good. I do however have a couple of questions I need answered before I can start. First I need some help deciding on a motor. From what I have read a carbureted 12A would be the easiest to swap and wire in. I also looked into the 13B as I have read it has better aftermarket support. Again carbureted seems to be "easier". But fuel injected seems the "better" route to go. I have not been able to find a thing on swapping a E.F.I. 13B into anything other than another RX7.*

So I guess my questions are would it be better to go with the 12A or 13B? If I go with the 13B would it be better carbureted, or fuel injected? And if I go with E.F.I. what will it take to make it work?*

I'm sure this is answered somewhere on the forum, I just couldn't find it, so if you could post a link that would be awesome! Thanks for any help!

Yeah, that's the adaptor I mentioned earlier. It even has the counter weight that is needed if you get the motor out of a manual. The automatic has the counterweight already.
