13b in 914

I had the feeling of selling ym 5.0 mustang and getting an rx-7. i ended up with this 914 falling in my lap, so the 13b project begins... i have my sources for my radiator setup and plan on running some form of the fomula mazda setup found in the SCCA

If you are going to go FI, you'll need a 6-port motor, but a 4-port is the best choice for carb, so it seems you have a decision to make in that regard.

The very thought of a rotary 914 makes my pants less roomy.

well, all of the hardware associated witht he swap seems to be more important at first. i wouldnt mind starting out with an FI motor but then i have to find a good donor car. what would be the best year to get the parts out of. if i am going to start with FI then i want to be able to go turbo later.

4 ports would be easier to turbocharge, so you might want to consider getting a TII donor.
Apart from the longblock, you'd need a few parts to make it run: coilpacks, ECU, fuel delivery system...
It's not that hard though, if you ditch all the useless stuff (airpump etc) you'll see there's not much around these engines.
Good luck, and keep posting updates!

About 10 years ago my brother in law and his friend each built rotary powered 914s .. one had a 6-port with Dellorto, the other a street ported 4-port 13B with a Holley.

Our fellow member Soloracer from Calgary is putting a 20B into a 914 right now!
Looks very promising, and AWESOME! He's expecting to be able to keep the final weight under 2000 lbs!!!
