i was thinking the same thing had to pull one from a 05 rx7 for a motor job at work and i get to keep the core some how lol but the way the rear of the trans is it looks like it would require quite some fabricating to make a mount for it but as for the motor it looks pretty easy but expensive for an fc unless you wanted to go stand alone and rebuild a junkyard renesis

You willing to put in an engine that costs more than the car itself?

Hp potential aside Ted, why would that even be a factor considering all the 20b's in Fc's so far? At least it's still a rotary.

20B makes a lot more power and way more potential...
