Just about anything is possible. Is the 626 RWD?



I put 13B running gear in my Suzuki... I put the moter in and put about 10 times to make sure everything was perfectly lined up. I then welded up motor mounts and made the transmission mount. I later had to change the trans mount to clear my header.



A few tools and good wrenching skills and you can do it yourself.

well sorry to say you got yourself a problem. your car is fwd and they dont have any fwd trannys that i know of for rotarys so unless you want to go through the trouble of making you car rwd ( and trust me its not gonna be easy) then dont even think about it h34r:

nah 82 should be rwd, its 83 up thats fwd. the answer is it depends, if they had a rotary versoin of that car in some other part of the world it should be easy (rwd glc's are easy) if not its a matter of making the mounts, and plumbing

actually Mazda had a R130 Rotary Luce Coupe that was FWD. but i'm sure that nobody will ever find parts from one, so it only is for trivia knowledge
