Interesting swap.......

[SLOWR/T]

Just wanted to share my project with everyone. I decided to do something different and put a 13b-re in a 1974 chevy nova. The typical comment is that a musclecar is too heavy for a rotary, but we have gone to great lengths to lighten the car. Without going into details, the car will weigh in at just over 2700 lbs. Love it or hate it, you gotta admit....................never seen one of those before.

I was hoping for a better engine, but maybe he had it laying around.

If he wanted torque, he would've kept the V8.

Agreed But, I give the man props for doing it.

[buddha@TeamFX]

What a disgrace! Someone needs to knock some sense into him.

[B_Hoov]

someone needs a metal fabrication class or two...

x2.

I'd shake his hand, no doubt.

[alpine_aw11]

I bet that's fun to drive. That bay dwarfs that motor. I love original swaps like that, like the 2jz Camaro someone just posted up. Whether you like it or not you gotta give the man props for pulling it off, that has to be the first 13b Nova ever done.

dude you say this **** about every rotary engine you see. shut the **** up, just stop it, you don't know **** about what you're talking about at all. You really have no ****ing clue and you've annoyed the **** out of me for the last ****ing time and this is why I called you a douche Honda owner. I bet you've never driven or rode in a rotary powered car and I bet you're going off of **** you've heard from others. For the love of god just stop ****ing talking about **** you have no clue about! you o not have a 13B RE lying around, it is from the Japanese grand touring flagship car the Eunos Cosmo. It is a higher output motor than the S6 Rx-7's 13B-REW and it is very rare, one does not just have one "lying around".

So true man. I hate when people talk **** about something they know nothing about or even how it works. Rotarys are pretty amazing. Their just touchy on tuning. Stock though there as good as anything.

Interesting swap to say the least. I am a huge fan of off the wall swaps like this. Of course he could have went with a SBC or even a BBC, but then it would be as forgettable as the rest of them. Whether you like it or not, you will never forget about the Rotory powered Nova that you have just seen.

[Kevykev]

Most unexpected i would say!

[Nemesis]

i bet it sounds like a5555555555555

[Just_CHill]

Looks pretty cool.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to DieselNuts again.
