Default Advice on Mazda fd engine swap

Looking at a fc build, but the guy has a fd block. I was wondering if i can get reviews or comments on the fc or fd rotary engines. I was told there really shitty, but wanted some more inputs on this engine or any other ideas on my build. If you can help, please do. Thank you.

They're just shitty. Simple.

I'm sure someone will chime in with what you CAN do with a rotary engine, but that doesn't mean its typical. A typical rotary is low on power and low on reliability.

If you're going to swap, just swap an LS1. Its been done many times before for a REASON.

In terms of engine swaps, the only ones easier are swapping Honda engines.
