OK i understand but that's not my point, why people swap there rotary with a V-8 engine if it is heavier then the Rotary engine. And with a rotary you can take allot of HP in a 1.3l engine.

It's also 'because they can' and because they can afford to, or because they have a piston engine laying around and no money for a 13b/20b. 13bs will likely be in short supply in the future since they stopped producing them last month.
Personally, I stick with rotaries because of handling - the weight makes for better cornering up front. Running a 12A in my FB right now and when that dies, I hope I have enough in my account to do the 20B swap... but small blocks might become more prevalent for the same reason.
So should you? Your car. I've seen more than two online with an electric motor, but here's two:
Ex-7 - Electric RX-7 conversion
Electric Vehicle Conversion - the X7 (RX7)
(As someone who grew up rewinding electrical motors, those are also possibilities I might consider).
