Got some quotes on 20b rotary engines today. Shit there not cheap! But for an n/a engine, 400hp sounds goooood.

Might have to start saving?

when looking for an engine and drivetrain, it pays to keep an eye on the damaged vehicle tenders, and turners damaged vehicle auctions, often its way cheaper to get a crash damaged car and stripping the mechanicals than buying a motor and box computer etc from a wrecker

Hey mate Shannon here gimme a shout if you want to have a look at the R200 setup in mine

I looked at your car before you bought - was going to buy it as it had good potential. Have my eye on another one now so hopefully that will take some of the pain of missing this one away haha

Mine's running the longnose R200 diff with R30/S14 CV axles. Probably the hardest part will be finding the R30 3 x 2 companion flanges but someone on here might part with a set if you're lucky!

Here's a couple of pics with a couple of different types of CV conversion
