I'll say.

That's more than my dad's Dodge Ram van with a 'workhorse' 318 in it. He had it rebuilt right after it hit 200k. No way I was tackling that job, but a rotary, no problem.

Yea, I think I am going to rebuild my motor. I don't know if the rotors and housings are going to be rebuildable though. Over 240,000 miles on them. I might just try to find a 13b and put a 6-port manifold and holley carb on her. I know this on car has a good 12a that is at a state impound, but they are waiting for investigation on it because some guy died in it. It has a roll cage and everything in it. Maybe it has something "special" done to the motor. Because the guy was a race car driver.

In the Racer's circle, no one EVER buys or uses parts from a car that took someone's life. It's Taboo.

Look elsewhere.

245k miles! Amazing. You might want to check the distibutor before being convinced of engine failure, although at 245k it had to be getting pretty tired.
