There's a firm advertizing in the back of Autoweek every now & then which
claims to make a swap kit for the Mazda Rotary into Spridget.  135hp in
a Sprite - I'd love to try one sometime.

Rotus Cars in Maryland, makers of the Rotus 7, use either a Toyota 4 or a 
rotary - Japanese engines in British (type) cars, at least.

Now, a turbo 13B rotary in a TR6 ... hmmm, something else to add to the list
of 'cars I want to build when I get rich & have a big garage'.
