Oooh, that will be a neat car Bob, I'm sure it can be made to fit.  I drool over a bug-eye Sprite with a rotary at Love's Landing fly-in every year.

I've pretty well finalized my next project, and it includes using my

The engine is going into a Sunbeam Alpine assuming I can get it to fit
OK.  I'm going on the theory that if Shelby could put a Ford 260 in
one I can get the rotary in there, and hopefully a lot easier.  My plan
at the moment is to install it about the same way it was in the BD-4
with the EC2 and EM2.  Not sure how I will get a speedometer reading
yet but I can always use the GPS if I have to. I haven't seen any
evidence that anyone else has done this, so it should be pretty
unique.  It's also possible I may be making as much or more power than
some of the Tigers so that will be interesting.  I also had an idea I
wanted to try out for the radiator. Now I will have something to try it
on.

If anyone is interested in the RD1C, let me know.  I will put an ad on
Tracy's web site after I check the internals.  It's been too cold in
the hanger the last couple of months to do much out there.  At least I
can't get too enthused about it.
