The RX-8 rotating assembly is tempting - I just thought I read somewhere (probably RX7C) that the RX-8 rotors weren't necessary a good change, despite the increased compression, which is something I'd like to have.

Hopefully will be checking out engine today. May also be picking up the transmission as well (don't know if I'm going to use it or not though).

EDIT: Still debating between a small bridgeport (not cutting into water jacket) or large streetport for the motor. I've read a lot on both and am still not decided. Can anyone make a case for either?
Half Bridgeport TII engine NA (loving it).
