i haven't personally but one of my friends has. he had a positive experience but i see they dont offer any kind of warranty on their FD motors. I would be a little wary of that.

well there is hardly anybody that will warranty a rotary asfaik...

they are known for having the seals dry up and make no comp...thats what mine is doing now...

but its a decent deal considering one local is 2500 for just a stripped engine..

idk you have to really want an Fd, i sat in one thats track prepped by a guy near me he is a scca instructor and he is rebuilding them all the time. probably just find someone who can rebuild it so you know you have something good to start with.
