Well you've got the diversity points

Do you have a rotary?

haha nope, working on one right now hopefully....its starting to get cold up here in MI and although im a huge outdoors person and whatnot...it still kinda sucks not being mobile outside of a certain 20mile range (bicycle/running limit) haha...

trying to find a nice FD to buy, have one potential....then it becomes a matter of deciding whether or not to let the gearhead or the investor in me win...ie deck the whole thing out with either a 20B or perhaps a nice turbo ls1, or keep it literally bone stock and restore it as a collector car...

i have a feeling this one might get the secondary treatment....i can always save up and buy one in more 'pristine and untouched' condition later down the line...plus what fun is a car if you cant drive it...

What do you mean by "if the 13B non turbo motors are still good?" Do you mean power wise or durability? A non turbo 13B can go anywhere from about 125,000 to 200,000 miles without catastrophic failure or needing a rebuild. I was surprised when my 13B died at 154,000 miles after 21 years.
