What are your goals? Just want something different or something practical? Why not just keep the motor that's in there and go from there?

And OP, WHY don't you like the rotary? You think they'll break? They will of you go easy on them, it's ass backwards I know. If you want more torque so you can do burnouts- get a different car. But the RX8 handles like a beast, you should come to a Mazda Meet in the Mountains on the 17th and put 'er to the test.
My dream car, Miata with a 3-rotor.

Re: Mazda RX-8 motor swap?
You believe everything you hear? You let other people make decisions for you? There's a lot of people who talk shit about rotaries mainly because they don't know shit about them.
