13bt in saturn?

so i drive a 93 saturn sc2 and the other day me and my friends were saying how we should tear out everything in the car and drop a t2 engine in there. of course we were joking but now im actually considering it. so that would mean a fwd to rwd conversion, actually it would mean i need a new everything haha. im not so experience with rotaries but im sure doing this will expand my knowledge and i know people who could help out. i know itll be a hard project but in the end a great experience!

you think its worth it?

not really worth it...

not hating. but saturns are pretty ugly. why not put it in a nicer looking car. after all the money was spent. you could of had a much nicer looking rotary powered car. converting to RWD from FWD takes a lot of fabrication and money.

if you dont want an rx7. many people have put 13b's into other RWD cars such as toyotas, mitsubishi, datsun, chevy, nissan, ect...

Waste of a TII engine. Seriously, a Saturn?

I'd do it just to see the look on people's faces after they get beat by a saturn that sounds like an angry lawn mower.

what kinda saturn?
money wise very impractical as above it would be cheaper to do a car that already has rwd..

or if you are skilled enough why not front wheel drive it would be cheaper. just need and adaption plate etc etc

How about a transversely mounted 13B bridgeport.
