Question 20B into an El Camino????

Ok, so heres the deal a buddy of mine is toying with the idea of putting a 20B into his El Camino. He's got the car body's almost done, he's got the money but no motor of any kind. He's been helping a friend and I with our cars and seen what they can do. So he's thinking rotary. So what do ya'll think.

Why not put a 20B in an El Camino? The bed is plenty big enough. Just make sure to tie it down tight so it doesn't get knocked around.

You could probably fit four FC engines in an El Camino.

That is alot of money into a car that looks like Sh*t. they have better years (late 60's, early 70s). or put it into a 66,67,68 mustang or something that still looks good.

This is a must....makes up for all those guys slamming Chevy engines into rotary powered cars. Sure you could build a 350 for waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less.... but whats the fun in that? Money...it just grows on trees, I bought a money tree off ebay....they said it should bloom in a few years.... NOT!! All sarcasm aside...I think it would be kinda cool....

Some guy in Australia fitted a 20B into his Holden. Holdens are traditionally favoured by the V8 faternity downunder.
I think fitting rotary's to V8 powered cars is wrong!!!!!!
Even more so if its a classic El Camino,Camaro or Mustang.

But good for a laugh anyway.
