Question rotary in a 323

Just wondering if it be hard to put a rotary engine into my 89 323. The reason for this is for the fact that the engine that they have in them to begin with sucks. It takes forever to get up to speed and so on. I was thinking about just putting the turbo 323 engine in but I would much rather have a rotary. what do you guys think?

I keep seeing that 323 but never saw a finished engine bay... Notice the rad and thermostat housing? Try to connect those! I'm not so sure if this 323 was ever finished, and if it has been I'd like to see pics.

A friend of mine has built a 323 with a 12A. It was the old school type tough, 82 or something. Lost his license when the cops busted him doing a kingsize burnout at the local mall!

The cops where like: uhh, this cant bee original?

My friends answer: But officer, its only a 1.2!

In the states that car was known as a Mazda GLC, it was RWD from the factory; all US Mazda 323 were FWD.
