Lightbulb 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.

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?

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.
