why not? the way i see it you have at least two roads to take, but like everyone said, it's gonna cost. so i guess the real question is will you think it's all worth it in the end?

You can get a Cadillac Northstar engine to fit in a Fiero so a rotary in a little MR2 shouldn't be a problem. Depending on how you do it that would be one fast little car.
