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...

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
