the beauty of the swap isn't just a big motor in a small car. unlike most swaps, this car has incredible road handling ability as well... it can maintain a perfect weight balance, and the cars had great suspension from the factory. they just didn't come with the most desirable powerplant- a wankle rotary engine. while the engine is unique, its long term performance & reliability (or lack thereof) was far from acceptable to most end users.
