For a change that doesnt require that much shizat to be done.

Im not lazy its just not where I want to spend my $ and time.

Id rather put it into the drive train,not the swap.

I mean I want a minimum hastle switch,I know nothing is

painless.

Let me have it ,where can I get info on such a change.



I want a truck soon but it has to have a rotory in it tII or 20b.

I will be willing to do more for the 20b.

Dont want to finance shizat.

Just want a fast extended cab mini or mid truck .{whatever year}

Is this post in the right forum ,If not tell me to move it where

I can get more traffic.

A Rotary will fit into just about any truck. The Rotary motors are small and with a few shop tools and a welder anything can be done.



Take a look at my project zuki-r.com 13B into a Suzuki Sidekick, Any other swap would be similar.



It has been 25 years since any REPU (Rotary Engine PickUp) has been made, They are usually rusted out and been through the same abuse as the early Rotary Engined cars (R100,RX2,RX3... all getting hard to find).



Things to do:

Motor Mounts

Transmission Mount

Mount Radiator

Driveline machined to match RX7 Inputshaft to your Diff

Engine/Trans Transplant

ECU Swap

Hoses



In putting the engine in, carefull attention needs to be paid to angles that the engine transmission are put in at. pinion angles Otherwise weird vibrations will be the result.

I have heard it rumored that Mazda makes 2 trannies and the little mazda pickups come with tII trannys... Just what I heard no real evidence but worth checking into considering it would make a swap that much easier.

the b2600's come with the r box trannies (the t2 box), the input shaft is also the same as the t2 so you can just swap bellhousings

the 2600i has it too, your 13bt will drop right in if you get a bellhousing and some motore mounts
