i just put a 12a rotary in a zuk p.u. we are building and don't think its a bolt in. we mover the t case back about 1 1/2" and make up new motor mounts and tranny mounts. it has the most power to weight you will find in a stock motor and a tuff tranny to boot. mike

I thought the rotery motors had to be reved high to get the torque out of them.

I live in eastern washington which is desert area and we have no trees but we do have ground sqirrels that dig holes everywhere and of course they are gray so this is how I came to this name for my gray samurai, graydigger was already taken on yahoo so it is graydiger, Don

p.s. Thanks for all your nice replys

I have a buddy with a 18b efi and trans out of a rx7 in his 86 sami. He did the transplant himself (except the wiring). He runs 38 inch tsl's. And ya your right most of the power is up high. He rev's the sheet out of it. The ecm shuts it down at 10 g's. He claims the install wasn't to difficult but he's a welder/ fabricator by trade.

I think it's cool to do some trick stuff that is one of a kind but to a point, it's like putting your belt on the outside of the loops. Just go with a 1.6 or a one of those 4.3 or what ever these freaks run.:flipoff2:
