Craig, welcome back to the world of rotary. ;)

Building a 4 rotor will cost a small fortune, fitting will cost the national debt of Ireland and running will triple the profits of Exon (Esso). :D

I think you would struggle for emissions, but nothing is impossible - you would need to invest quite a lot in the exhaust system (which would probably kill a lot of the power).  Do you need engineers approval over there (you would in Australia) for the engine itself.

if you put in a pre 86 car you don\'t have to worry about emmissssisiisisoioonsns (or however you spell it!) as you could probably get away claiming that the engine is pre 86 and will only need to meet the visible smoke test :D
