Ernest,
Snap me a photo (up close) of your front cover including the
oil metering pump mount pad. What do you know about this
13B? Has it been overhauled? Has there been any mixing and
matching of parts from different year models,etc? Do you have
any way of finding out what year donor car the engine came from?
Perhaps we can figure out what year engine came from without
opening it. On that note you can determine rotor model year by
examining the combustion cavity. The 86-89-1/2 have the cavity
cast in the rotor face. The 89-1/2-95 have the cavity machined
in the rotor face. FWIW

Here ya' go, Kelly.
I believe the eliptical coverplate in the middle is the oil metering pump mount pad, and the two bolts exiting to the right are for the A/C...not motor mount attach points?
The camera did a decent job of shooting a picture down the exhaust. You can barely tell that the rotor combustion cavity is cast. That argues for the 86.
The second picture shows the flywheel that was bolted to the front. It was attached to the crank pully by the small aluminum 'thing' that is bottom, front and center of the picture. The starter was bolted to a pad that was bolted between the two arms that have been welded to the front cover. Now, I plan to cut those arms off, but they are attached to a couple of shorter tabs that appear to be an integral part of the front housing. Can I cut the whole thing off, or did the shorter tabs perform some greater task?
