New guy here, oddball swap

Hey all,

wanted to introduce myself here, registered a few days ago. I figure this is the most appropriate forum since I don't even own a mazda.

The car? a datsun 240z. The motor? a series 4 jspec turbo, mildly built up with likely a t04e turbo. Just started the project, acquired a nice [blown] motor out of a turbo II which is dead courtesy of a blown coolant seal. The rotors were in good shape, I got a tranny and couple of good housings out of it, and all misc. lines/injectors/manifolds are in excellent shape. Blame Rotary Racer for planting the idea in my head, but since he's helping me build the motor, why would I pass that up? \

Should result in a nice smog exempt car with ~300 crank hp and weight of about 2200 lbs.

That rotor housing on the left looks really screwed up.
