Probably impossible, not to be rude. But generally engines in a FF car are mounted sideways whereas a FR car the engine tends to be mounted in a linear fashion. This would take extensive fabrication to mount the engine and then make clearance for all your accessories plus the oil sump would probably have to be custom designed aswell. I ran into this problem with swapping a BPT into my miata since the BPT was from a FF there was just too much fabrication and customization for me to even bother.

if you have the money to produce a bell housing to mate the engine to a common rwd beafy tranny. Plus fabricating engine and tranny mounts.

ANything is possible with $$$ or tons of fabricating skillz.

Yes the SRT-4 motor can make good power but you would be a little better off trying it with an STi motor and even better then that would be an EVO motor.

AWD boxer engine FD??

Tell your friend to post on his srt4 forum about doing a rotary swap in his car. besides, that would be a waste of a rotary engine on a neon.

/sigh

I hate this forum sometimes... well... almost any time I look in this sub-forum.

On-topic; You could likely fit an SRT-4 engine in the engine bay of any rx-7, with some creative mounts that is. Throw a drag-slushbox w/ a custom bellhousing on it and call it a RWD. Could be a very nice setup, those engines can cheaply handle a lot of power.

And now to the off-topic; like everyone else.


IF YOU CAN'T CONTRIBUTE IN A POSITIVE MANNER, JUST STFU! I'm sure I could come into at least 1 thread from everyone who posted "blasphemy" or "waste of time" etc and pull out a question to make them sound like a complete retard. They probably have some electric supercharger posts; or how do I turbo my n/a...

...long story short, this is not your car, it's not your decision. You opinion is obnoxious, and a nuesance to this spacific forum, keep it to yourself, or go post in the lounge, you damned rotard trolls.
