What can I swap a 13B into???

Looking at what options I would have for throwing a 13B into...
Pulling my rotary for an ls1 swap out of my Fd, and want to get a beater to throw in my 13B...any ideas, looking for a **** beater.
trying to spend less then 2k.
Thanks

HAHAHAHA, getting an ls1 and then putting the 13b in something else.....I have no words for what I feel right now. I'm shamed that we're in the same state.

Chevette, Fiat X19(Bertone), Fiero, Vega, VW Beetle, old Triumph, MG, this could be fun!

Or you could buy an FC with a blown motor for a couple o' hundred bucks.

1st gen rx7 could be done for less than 2k 84 85 would be best, and it would just be a matter of custom mounts.

Toyota Starlet. Thats what I wanted to do. I actually have the starlet, but too many projects so the starlet will most likely have to go.

Mazda GLC.





The FD engine would be more work, but it could probably be done.

Here's a few photos from the recent woodward dream cruise. It's a really cool Sukuki with a 13B...

I'm more interested in the Midget swap. I've got one in the backyard with a fragged boinger (dad towed it with the driveshaft left in [neutral] and it dropped into 2nd at 70). transmission and engine are shot.
