RWD Corolla rotary

My cousin used to have one of these back when I was growing up, I think it was an 85 or so Corolla gts. Anyway it had a ported 13b as was the style in those days. I was wondering if anyone still does this kind of stuff or if there is a kit with engine and tranny mounts. I have an SR5 corolla back behind my house and was wondering how difficult it is to fit a rotary in it. I have a 13bt just waiting for something like this.
thanks
Al

the problem is that he bought it that way back in 88 or 89 I think, the car has long since been sold and he now lives in jamaica. Thanks I will check the other thread.

how old are you looking to find? i know where a nice 77 is i could hook you up with. needs minor body work due to a car sideswiping it. (sounds worse than it is) the car is mint otherwise. it has about 52K original miles.

Barwick don't do it! You'll bring it back here and it'll rust to nothing within 2 weeks!

But '77 does have its advantages... it's over 25 years old = no need for emissions compliance

I'm thinking about a swapping a 13b N/A swapping into a N/A, would I have to swap in the whole drivetrain and how would I have to fabricate the cooling system and is the stock radiator sufficient to cool the powerplant? Also concerning about the injectors, are they enough to run the 13b 6 port. Any ideas on how to fit the motor mounts?
