Tried to add pics again, i'm a loser, I don't know any thing about computers. Just think 280hp out of a 3.5L bone stock honda vtec motor and get 30 mpg out of daily driving besides adding a turbo wich should put me at around 420ish hp. Not bad for a junkyard motor for $650.00, I got a good deal I know a gut who owns half of 35th ave. & broadway, guys in az know this area. I figure with adapt. radiator,motor,turbo and misc. parts i should be around $2500.00, not bad for a computer run 400hp motor. I will try this even. to get pics sent. russell

Will you need to run reverse cams to get the engine to spin the right way (like you have to for the honda 4 cyls?)

I'm also surprised the rotary is so heavy. A two-rotor weighs more than a Type IV...

75lbs to add a radiator and plumb it sounds excessive. An aluminum and plastic radiator weighs about 5lbs. 2 gallons of water is about 16lbs. I have a hard time believing the hoses are over 50lbs.
