Is it possible to drop a 13b or 20b into an 88 mx6 gt turbo

I am 15 and am wondering if it's possible to swap a 13b or 20b into a 1988 mazda mx-6 gt turbo. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

i'm not aware of any FWD trans that will bolt to a mazda rotary and converting the car to RWD would be a bitch.

I just saw a FWD Mazda 323 Wagon with a rotary in it.
Iv also seen a Mini with one in it.

The 12a or 13b are short enough that they will fit easily into a transverse setup, the 20b would be to long.
All you need to do is custom build some mounts and an adaptor plate for the gearbox.

Thanks for the info. BTW, how much would it cost to build some custom mounts and adaptor plate?

I would say $70/hour, who knows how long it would take tem. These swaps can be very expensive if done by a shop, only begin something this major if you know a LOT about cars.
