Re: 13b rotary in a GE

it has been done before, seen one in a car mag couple years ago of one in a GH.

Least in qld when I asked main roads ...

Re: Interesting engine swaps.

S1GMARE I'll have to agree with you on that, but if I put the 4wd drive system in it I'd have to take it rallying and I'd probably set the motor up to run a backfiring system, and at least nothing else sounds like them and it'd be different!

Just wanted to put it out there if anyone has heard of a Boxer motor being put into a sigma? I just reco'd my standard 2ltr, and was trying to think of an unusual motor I could build to put in it in a year or two when it blows up again.

Thanks cheater. I had a look at it and the gearbox it came with is a manual, so does anyone know if this will be ok to bolt into my gh to the manual box already in it? I cant use the one it came with, it's for a collum shift, but the bell housing's look the same.
