Ha Guys,
I am new to this forum. I Have got plans to do a 13BT Transplant into an
austin mini. I already have the drive train and the mini shell. Next move is to
construct a chassis and locate a suspension. I will keep you all posted
when everything is ready to go. By the way I have for my road car a Datsun 1200
with a CA18DET.

Here is what my 1303 super is going to look like it is a 1973 vw bug it is not that hard to install the rotary in and handels like a 911 when set up right. No one expects a car like this to have the power of the 13BT
running porsche breaks it will stop very very well

There was a stripped out VW Bug with a 13BT in it at sevenstock. It was insane! It looked like a quick fix because the engine was just hanging there out in the open. There was also an AE86 with a rotary that looked like a lot of fun.
Personally, if I had to stick a rotary in something old, I'd put it in a 240Z or 914.

Grassroots Motorsports has an awesome writeup on transplanting a 13B into a Triumph Spitfire: http://www.grassrootsmotorsports.com/rospit.html
Their writeup is what inspired me to buy my FC from the junkyard. Unfortunately for the Spit, I got hooked on the FC instead.
ANyone wanna buy a '71 Spitfire in NorCal?

Coolest swap ever has got to be a 240z with a 20B. It's never been done, I just think that it would rock! And fill out the engine bay much better than a 13B. Personal favorite for me would be an MG midget, as long as I could get 4 wheel discs and LSD. It wouldn't stop or go very well if it didn't have those things, mostly the LSD really; that and I dunno what the MG rear-end can take.

Wow there are a lot of cars I had not thought of. Thanks for the ideas, the only bad thing is that all the old school rear drives are hard to find or expensive. I had a friend from my old job who said he would give me his repu I just come and tow it. Gonna call tomorrow and see if he remember the conversation.

I have put a 13b EGI into a Skoda Estelle (Czechoslovakian car much belittled here in England.........) anyway if you can find one you simply build a subframe to take VW Beetle IRS rear suspension, Transaxle etc etc then with a "KEP" adapter plate your in business!!
Mine runs 13 second quarter miles with 0-60 mph coming up in 5.8 seconds ( all up weight of just 970 Pounds)

Anyone??

Is there a writeup on this somewhere on the net? I am utterly intrigued by the idea of a 970# street car. That is less than half the weight of my FC.... . .
Are you sure that's not kg?
