3 rotor in a early 50's ford truck??
 
ok my dad has an old ford truck, something like a 50 or 53. i just want to know your opinions on putting a 3 rotor in one? would this be a good idea? i would like to start it after i graduate college and when i get roots planted and have a steady income. any ideas welcome.

For the price of the installation of a refurbished stock 3-rotor (about 300hp / 300lb-ft tq), you could spend less time and install a turnkey blueprinted Ford 460 cid from Hell (about 500hp / 500lb-ft tq). As much as I like rotary engines, I don't see much competition here.

i have always thought about something like that. i thought maybe a 502 bored out. with maybe a turbo or two on it. :D but i think the 3 rotor would be unigque since i am sure nobody has ever done it.
