Its like when one of your friends says, oh did you hear about "Sue", but then says, oh no i cant tell you!
or was it just a general question but there was nothing specific you wanted to know, but you just wanted to know if anyone had knowledge of the mythical rotary
Or it could be that I don't spend every day on this forum, and this is the first time i have returned since making this thread?

Probably not as noticed you were on later that day as thought it was odd you hadnt checked back
To answer you questions imho:
If your ripping the engine out i wouldnt worry to much about who has build it and when, even selling a good engine 2nd with a reputable builder tag is hard work these days.
Andy, Me, LMC all have broken their Rx7's for spares, i would very much think Guy would too if it wasnt a 2001 model. Hopefully that tells you all you need to know about prices. I have to be honest, i havent seen many whole cars sell recently (especially expansive ones), the ones that are advertised for £9k will sit there for ages with the price coming down and down. Only late spec 99+ can command a decent price tag.
I think the world is your oyster if your putting a V8 in one as its really only the engine condition that commands any sort of price at the moment.
Hope that helps.
That's good to know.
Although people are so set on making sure the engine is compression tested and whether its been rebuilt, are the engines as weak as everyone makes out?
Rotary engines I really don't know an awful lot about. The FD is one of the nicest looking cars ever built in my opinion, especially when you bare in mind the era it was designed it still looks very modern.
Everyone says they are money pits, I guess the large portion of this is to do with the lump?
If I can pick up a decent rolling shell I have seen there is a wealth of knowledge regarding V8 transplants, it should be a fun project!
