Where can I find a guide for swapping a late model rotary engine from a Mazda into a NSU R080?

Asked by James May 11, 2013 at 06:23 PM about the Mazda RX-7

Question type: Car Customization

Wondering if there's a book for this. I want to do this swap if I can find all the right pieces. Think it would be bad ass!

There's no book, all you need is the engine with all ancilliaries including the complete wiring harness, transmission and radiator, some decent fabrication skills and plenty of free time. It won't be easy but it can be done. You may also need to change the steering system due to the difference in the overall engine dimensions and resulting position.
