rotary swaps
OK fellas and gals, forgive me for being naiive...
I am a Honda guy, and I know turbos, but rotaries are foreign material to me. That's why I want one now. So I read an article on a guy who put together a beautiful 1973 rx-3 with an engine from an 85 rx-7 (13b, carbeurated of course). So I ask myself, can one put a 13bt (is that how we say FI turbo 1.3L from a turbo II?) in with the same engine mounts, or are there mount conversion kits? If I put it into an rx-2 (which is my long term plan if I can find one) can I buy a carbeurator kit to convert it over? If so I'm stoked to get on with a rotary! I tried to find websites with swap information, but I haven't had any luck. I'm sure someone out there must have tried this, too... I appreciate any info... Basically if the engine will fit the engine mounts, but if not, is it a simple matter to weld new mounts in?

ooo-bummer if that's tough to convert to carbs... I've seen carb kits for dragster CRXs, but no luck for RX-&, eh?
On the subject of motor mounts, do you think the guy with the 85 RX-7 engine in the 73 RX-3 had to redo the motor mounts, or does the 85 drop in and later models have a different mount configuration?
