Question what do i need to make my 13b to a 20b

im sure there is a way to keep my old engine and just add an intermediate side housing, and a rotor housing and a rotor, but what are exactly the parts do i need to complete this? or is it more cost effective to just buy a used 20b? well, any help i can get is good cuz my engine is hitting 100k miles soon, and im trying to explore my options......... thanks everyone

More cost effective to just buy a 20B.

Yeah, a $500 front center housing, a $700 eccentric shaft, another rotor housing, $1,500 worth of parts to rebuild everything, several thousand dollars worth of raw materials and fabraication to build an oil pan, oil sump system, exhaust...

Not to mention the dowel pinning is different on the 20B's. Just buy a used 20B and have it rebuilt. You'll have to build it anyway no matter how you go at it so just buy a used one and build it.

Good Luck,
STEPHEN

Wow, you're talking a lot of money to convert a 13B to 20B. I've seen 20B clips going for $6k - go for one of those!
