where exactly did you come across a 13a anyways, I search everywhere and the best I've ever found is a blown 10a and a lot of blown pre rx7 12a's and 13b's

Back in 1991 I gifted the piston engine from my 1970 Mazda Luce Estate engine to well known local rotary engine builder Glenn Munro of Rotary Power Limited in Auckland New Zealand.

He "re-payed" the favour in 2008 by supplying me a 13A and trans at mates rates for my Luce RX87.

Less than a thousand 13As were produced compared to a couple of hundred thousand 10As so yes 13A engines are very very hard if not impossible to find.

The US only got the 10A in the R100 so 10A's are rare indeed in N.America

RX3 10A engines are still easy to find in Australia/NZ if you really want to get one. Cosmo and R100 10A's are getting harder now to find.

Have you searched Japan? 13A engines were exclusive to Japan only.
