what are the good toyota models for rotaries

hello, all , which toyota models do most put rotaries in?
I haven't seen a list. I know of a few toyotas that have been sitting a while and have been thinking of getting some thing new going. I belive I could could get a 70's probably a 72 celica GT. and there is also a 70's corona. or it might be a corolla. Lates Matt

starlet are always good for rotaries, they weight around 1700 to 1900 lbs maybe even less. Another good one is a corolla TE27 AKA Mango weights around 2000 lbs. Yeah the Celica's are good to but weights a bit more.

I was gonna do a 13b swap on my starlet but I was force to sell the car by my financial manager (wife). But would love to see it done on a TE27.

Well matt, just like the 2's 3's and the 4's suspension parts are never cheap. But most parts are interchangeable. You can use the AE86 front and rear suspension on the TE27 and Starlet with little modification. But just like the GSLSE the AE86 are getting harder to find now adays at the junk yard.

An Aussie Chiropractor friend has a 74 2 door sedan Corolla with a genuine 1000RWHP on a dyno, I had the dyno sheet, it was over 700 KW (metric). The car is green (Kermit) and looks stock outside other than fender flares. Damn wildest car I eve rode in, sideways through 5 gears, drives at a 25 degree angle...

This engine is completely stock. The only aftermarket parts under the hood are: T-70, BOV,WG and INJECTORS. We recently purchase an MT the stock ecu was max out. We hope to get way way more power with the MT set up
