Rotaries,hotrod s and VWs,you have a blessed life. I have a rust free 67 VW bug and have been contemplating putting in a 13b Cosmos rotary motor. What are the pros and cons of running a bridgeport rotary on the street as a weekend mustang killer?

Hi. That Cosmo motor may be worth more to someone who needs one. You can get 13b motors out of second gen. RX7’s for cheap. Anyway, no downside on the bridgeport for the street. Just don’t go too long on the port timing. Great weekend engine. Put a Weber on it, headers and your done. Raced bridgeport 12a’s in the late 70’s in RX3’s. Cheap horse power. Thanks.

Thanks. Got lots but not in digital form. Shots are 20 years old. Should convert a few and post. Thanks again.
