I think it'd be pretty cool to strip a LUV down to bare minimum and run a turbo rotary 8)

it may need new seals anyway if it sat that long the gaskets go bad in em if they sit and dry out i know that for fact "family of rotary fanatics" it may be worth it though, you got a carb intake for it and the distributor electrical?

grab that engine and the tranny that came with it and away you go....as I recall that was the motor they put in the second gen Impulse turbos..ie the RS...160hp, awd, irs, and other various goodies

well that sounds like a hell of a deal to me, i love the rotary, most dont (exotic engines and all) but i do and even thought of the rotor option for my LUV... considered the price to pay for an Rx-8 engine for it also... two words.. NOT RICH
