Hi from Down Under
Hi All,
I'm in Perth (West Australia) and have owned my '72 RX3 for about 25 years. Not knowing much about rotary engines I removed the wheezy 10A and transplanted a Toyota 3TG twincam into it along with the Supra gearbox soon after the purchase. The car is street driven and also has a Borg Warner LSdiff replacing the original.
I still don't know too much about rotaries and plan on returning a rotor with appropriate gearbox back into the car. Reason for this is to sell it for the extra value a rotor will bring to the car. Engine will be a 13BT but I am completely ignorant on what series engine is best bang for the buck.
Some quick inquiries within Australia to source an engine shows they are not cheap and an RX7 "half-cut" ex Japan is unavailable - I'd like this option to ensure all parts are available for the conversion back from piston to rotor.
Any advice on rotor choice, what to avoid, information in general or links to source a half-cut in Australia are appreciated.
Regards to all,
Bill
