I've got a 541" BBC that would slide in nicely. Make you a good deal on it. I've got 18K into it.

Chevy small block V8, 350ci with a blower. I knew someone a long time ago that had one in his Porsche 914. It had like 400HP I've never been so afraid to ride in a car and 'go fast', before or since.

My latest swap, I have the old long block and Saginaw 3 speed side loader lying around.  good low RPM torque.  New rings and valve guides it wont burn anymore oil.  20 mpg cruising in my 78 C10.  Should shoehorn into a Miata.

You might say the rotory would be deemed an upgrade on your vehicle.

You sure abou that? I could have sworn the local expert on every thing from lawn chairs to hippopotomi was a different guy. Its that 1 guy that last post was about 9 months ago. He reminds of the kid that ate my sisters crayons when she was five.
