Rotary into an 86 B2000???
 

Okay, i've been searching the threads for some info and I have found some but nothing all inclusive. I keep finding bits and pieces and it make si thard to follow. Someone in my Autobody class has a B2000, an 86 ot be exact, I am suggesting a rotary swap but I am not sure what goes into it. I know it won't be some afternoon project, we are ready to put some work in tho. Anyone that can provide a link or a thread on this touchy subject please do so. It will be greatly appreciated. If we do the swap we will be running it with a mild streetport and will be fed by a Carb, not FI. It will be simpler for us that way. I have several Rx7 trannies lying around from 1st gens and 2nd gens, both GSL-se and Turbo. So the options in that department are open. As for the motor I have a series 5 non turbo block that would be used. I hope someone can help. Thanx a whole lot. :D

It's been sold, but you can still check out the pics.

matt

well it looks like a holley and the list of mods says its a 600cfm Holley, racing beat modified.

woops
didn't look at the 2nd url
reason i ask is the carb that i have on my camden 13b 6 port
looks just like that, i cant find any numbers on it to id. it and
it really isn't working that well, seems like the secondaries don't
open all the time.

you could probly pm dan atkins, he put a supercharged 13B into his Bwhatever

Dan's is a B2200. Elysian, do you remember how far forward Dan's engine is? With that in mind, check out how far back the engine is in the B2000 above. We had the length of a dollar and then some. Of course it would probably be a little harder to install a supercharger without relocating or removing the stuff on the firewall in that general area. Or maybe a 5" is all that would fit?

dan has got a 7" on that beastly b2200 of his. it fits with tons of room to spare

If you want to see my set up I will be @ SevenStock7 this year in my rotary powered B2200

Sounds good, I was planning on showing up there. I missed last year due to work, I was busy selling new RX8's at the time, LoL.
Were you there in 2002 with your rotary truck? If so was it supercharged?
I remember one that was there thats why I ask.
