mmm I am tempted, I am not scared of rebuilding the engine. I think it would be nice to have the authentic RX-2 engine, and hopefully I could get that one cheap.

Plus I hopefully wont have to mess around with engine mountings as I would have to if fitting a post 1974 engine.

Maybe Carl, Ray, Dave nixon or someone can find an RX-2 gearbox, and prop-shaft?

Do you guys think I would be able to use RX-7 carb, electrics, radiator and oil-cooler, etc?

Hey Martin, 2 of my best mates in oz both have an absolute bucket load of twin dizzy stuff that even though it is in great condition, in oz isnt valued to high. Basically if you are wanting to re-build an engine, 12a twin dizzy, then please ring around all the above advertised vendors first for bits. But if no joy let me know and i will forward you their phone numbers. Both guys are very trustworthy and absolute fanatics.
 cheers.
 Actually one of them drove the absolute arse out of his rx2 that had an extreemly small budget re-build, ( most expensive bit was the bridge porting) and it went sooo well. Twin dizzy motors rock.

Ok, what I want to ask next is, did the UK RX-2 have a 5-speed gearbox?  Michael, I am sure Carl or Mazda can get me the seals and stuff, thats not a big worry.

I was thinking more along the lines of things like, period correct alternator brackets, manifolds, inlet and exhaust, thermostat housings etc. I would put absolute faith into carl coming up with the goods for seals etc.
 cheers, michael.

The RX2 did not come with a 5 speed box on the twin dizzy\'s for sure.
I am sure that we can find all of the parts you need Martin to rebuild your car into a rotary of the period.

Thanks Carl. Dave and Ray were talking £250 for their RX-2 motor. If I can get that one from Isle of Wight for a song, it might be the way to go for me. I am not building a drag car or a show car or a modified car. To be honest its not really a restoration project either, at the moment  - not a proper full restoration , anyway. So I think the RX-2 Motor might be the best for me with this car at the moment.  I just want it Rotorised again as a short term goal .

Go for it Martin, it\'s got to be worth the cost of a ferry trip, even if only half the engine is usable, any of the brackets on the outside that are to corroded can be used as a template to make new.

Thinking about it Martin if you can afford it go for both, then you will have a few spares.

Oldone, I have bid £25 for it, it gives me the option of making the car a bit more authentic in the future. You are right, I have a good 1983 12A lying in the shed, I think i will fit that.

I need lots of help from you chaps on the 18th, to tell me what needs doing with engine mounts and cross members, gearboxes, etc.

R5000 = £500, for what, for you to install my motor?  

Lets rather do this--- I give you cup of tea, you come round to mine and we do it together !!  :-)
