Well, plans have changed. I am going to take my time with this engine and save it for the 'vert and get an S5 T2 motor for the FB. The 'vert could really use some torque, because with the extra weight, it's slower than snail shit. I'm going to get it all cleaned up and start ordering parts to rebuild it, and probably do the swap next summer or the summer after, depending on how the FB project comes along.

That sounds like the best plan, and not just because I like FB's to stay rotary, but because it actually does make a lot of sense. Verts are really heavy, the heaviest rotary powered sports car made if I remember correctly. FB's are light, tremendously light, and with a TII will really shit and get. Great idea.

You know what's really funny? Not only are they the heaviest rotary-powered sports car, but they're also the heaviest rotary-powered vehicle that made it to the states. Yes, REPUs, RX-4 wagons, and Cosmos are all lighter.
