Does any of you have pictures of a 12a installed into a small truck or maybe another car besides an rx7? I have a perfect 85 gsl with no title, I want to swap out the motor into an isuzu truck so I can have the wonderful rotary, with a very function pickup/ minitruck. If you have some pics I'd love to see them.

 

I have seen a 12a put in to a b2000, looks like it for the most part bolted right up with minor modification.

 

why not just turn your gsl into a track car?

 

spending all that money on a car you can't drive whenever you want doesn't appeal to me.

 

Who said spend alot of money? Just gut it, and do suspention... you'll have a nice autocross car.. and would be fun at the track on track days. Alot cheaper then a swap.

The 12a might not produce enough torque to move your truck in the low end.. unless you gear your first gear really low. Most engine swap to trucks use a 13b for the extra torque.

 

I think my neighbor might let me have his datsun 521 pickup(I think thats what they are). It looks like a datsun 510. Most trucks have a solid frame that makes it heavier than a car, but it will push em no problem. now I just need another engine.

 

here is a really strange thought REPU!

 

c'mon matt you know they just dont GAVE repus away

 

if i had the money i could buy 6 of them right now. they are around you can get them ya jsut have to be smart enough to look. but if this guy is interested. I can point him in the right direction.

 

any in my ball park price?..........free? how about ubder $500? I am a ways away, but not that far. I also have trailer if need be. It would have to have a good body though.

 

how demanding coulod be be with a price under 500?
I suppose you would also liek it to be all stock and full interior
and running? just messing with you. I know of some good
one and some bad ones. they are all owed by the same guy.
there is a guy with a bunch of them up in the tacoma area
as well. Matt

 

I'm accustumed to 89-95 isuzu pickups, I owned one before and they are tiny and cheap, yet look very modern with a paint job and rims (not all boxy and crap.
