Hey guys so I got the crazy idea of doing a rotary swap now I thought it was gonna be easy but the problem with a VW bug is that the transmission won't hold the power so I decided to do a front engine build a frame and do a rotary swap, why?? Because I haven't seen one yet. So im new to rotarys and just was wondering if this was even possible (I mean I know it is) but how possible? And how much money? I'll be doing all the work myself (yes im the type that has "friends that can help") also any thoughts? Anyways thanks!!
