Hello all, I'm new to rotors. I'm a garden tractor (Pro/Super Stock, 1 and 2 cyl. 1100 lb.) and mini rod (SuperModified 4 cyl.1650 lb.) tractor puller. Our end of the sport has just about every form of power that you can think of from 1 to 8 cylinders, gas, diesel, alcohol, 2 or 4 stroke, recently electric too, some engines are even homebuilt but I'm not aware of any rotaries in the 20 years that we've been pulling. Anyway, was interested a few years ago but it fell by the wayside, engine I was interested in (freedom ??) was pricey but not in a production run if I recall. The other day I started looking into it again after seeing some impressive videos on YouTube. I see that Atkins makes parts for a single rotor so I want to see what I could put together for an Open Super Stock class (several in the 80-100 hp. range). Anyhow, the Atkins intake manifold is for a 4 port, after some reading I think I want a second generation high compression NA rotor with a turbo housing, and port the front and rear plates for the 4 port turbo engine, use the front cover without the distributor, use the front coil and make a custom header. I don't know how you fill it with oil as the center section isn't used. Not sure but think I'm looking for a 13B rew ?? Is there a spec. list for all of the rotor/housing combinations and which will interchange. Does anyone know of it's (1 rotor) use or any peculiarities I should know about. Am I on the right track ?? Also might have to run Methanol, any problems with interactions with the seals ?? Thanks for any help. Geo
