transmission

Does anyone know if a rotory will bolt up any front wheel drive transaxles ?

I am thinking of putting a rotory in a mid-engine type of car

ok so I guess I'm going to have to get an adapter then, any ideas what transaxle would be the best? I would need something strong I am thinking about using my 20b for this.

it has been done (as RotaryRocket88 has shown).

as far as transaxles go, you may also want to look into any VW transaxle that sat behind a VR6 or the Toyota E153.

Ok I am getting a 1964 python, originally had a porsche 1600 flat 4 mid mount. The car doesn't have the motor or trans. I just want to build something that no one has ever done before.
So a 1964 python powered by a transverse mounted 20b sounds pretty original to me

Modified VW transaxles are very commonly used in high-hp sandcars. If your budget will allow it, there are places like this: VW Transaxles and Transmissions for VW Beetle and Bus | Rancho Performance Transaxles.
