LA new from barksdale afb

Hi I'm new, I joined this site in hopes to learn more about a rotary engine, while I do like my vehicles old, I like newer angines and was thinking bout picking up a ford courier dually for a rotary project, also have a 46 lincoln continental which I'm still looking for an engine to, wanna run a dual engine set up, so I was thinking dual v8s for that one but maybe some 13bs would be fun.

Welcome aboard! What's the name and how the heck did you decide to play with rotaries? Seen a friend's car? Seen an FD in a movie? Import mag? Initial D?

A '46 Continental with a 13B's would def get bloodshot eyes from the rat rod crew! Leave the exhaust uncorked and you'd have people wanting to do physical harm to you at the Goodguy's Hot Rod show!

Wow good stuff man that would be awesome slapping in some rotaries into a classic like that.

Two 20b.... That would be totally super duper.

Thumbs down

My names craig, and I like what you saying about the exhaust, my rule is it just has to be long enough to leave the engine compartment.
I've always been interested in rx7s and would use 2 rotaries in the lincoln if I could get 2 of the same cheap enough and could get the up to about 500 hp each in the long run.
Anyone know where I could get 2 13b-rew's, or 20b's?

O yeah I forgot to mention the old engine was a flathead v12, and was about 3 feet long, so I should have room, and I have a question that's open to opinion, cost vs potential, which is more worth it, a 88-91 single turbo engine, or a 92+ twin turbo engine.
Id like to make some fun power case the cehicle weighs close to if not 5000 lbs...
