That's one, big, heavy engine there...
Inline 6 is not going to help either.

Potential to make gobs of power, but I'd rather let the Supra / SC / Soarer / IS / Cressida guys get first crack at it.

Hey, if it floats your boat, go for it...

Only way i am ditching the rotary is if another jdm engine goes in place.

That would be the opportune statement. Good luck.
