yeah i thought about them as well, although i also thought about a custom setup as well. but then again, racing beat has done its homework already. so i will be on the lookout for one. i just like carburetor cars better.

it should be a direct swap in really, just a different block. like a honda i guess. if you can get the coil system working that would be a sweet set up, spark and fuel are the only things stopping a rotory from sky high revs really. since they dont have weak ass rods to hold them back. just make sure your apex seals are up to the task.

well i got a lead on an 85 oil pan and oil pickup tube for the 13b. also have a lead on a stock pressure plate, ill be buying a new flywheel more than likely, or get the stock one turned once i get a damn 54mm or 2 1/8" socket, and probably be putting in an unsprung 4 puck or 6 puck disc in it for fun times again. i dont plan to drive it daily anymore once i get it back on the road. more or so a weekend cruiser and a track bruiser.

also have a stuck and/or a fucked up threaded exhaust bolt. i dont wanna force it out. thought about heating it up slightly and seeing what i can do.

also, carbon buildup is kicking my ass. has a little on the apex seels, and some on the lower intake ports on the intake manifold. i need to clean that ---- out, but i dont have the money to crack open the motor and do a total rebuild. plus i think im gonna run a 600 cfm holley. need to get a cheap header as well and do something about the exhuast. ahhh, to much money to do all this ----, and not enough time before the dream cruise which is on august 16th. damnit :7

craftsman has that socket size. try a truck supply store (like semi or fleet) they have axle nuts and bearing retainer nuts upwards of 4"

I bought one (2 1/8") for my T-100 front hub nut. It cost like $18. It wasn't a snap on or anything like that.

quoting myself here is weird? but it cost 27.99 for the damn socket!!! i dunno about it. but i did look at the condition of the flywheel. its about picture perfect. there isnt even wear marks on it. its a little rusted at the time but nothing a little sand paper cant fix. im just gonna find a stock pressure plate like i said before and buy the 4 puck unsprung disk for 102 bucks.
