If the conversion is done well, it should be very cool. The Rotory's
are great engines. Problems with the conversion are that the exhaust
comes out on the wrong side and is very hot so it needs to have been
done thoughtfully. A stock Roadster radiator WILL NOT cut it.
Overheated rotory's aren't fun. The engine is also quite wide so you'll
have to check how much chassis chopping went on to make it fit. I
believe it's possible to do it without cutting up the frame but again,
it'll have to have been done by someone with a little bit of
intelligence. Have someone who knows how to check a 13B over do so. If
it's in good shape, they can go a long time with little problem.
There's a 68 2000 with a 12A conversion around me. I haven't seen the
car in a couple of years though.
