If you are looking to get a j-spec just to get parts from it, this is a good idea. However if you plan to swap it in with no rebuild, there is no guarantee that it wont blow up after 10 miles down the road. I have done a little reading on j-spec motors, and it seems like a lot of them end up sitting in a yard for extended periods of time, which is not good for a rotary, and you may end up with a
corewhich is not much better than your own.
No matter what you do, you will still need to order up some gaskets, refurbish injectors, replace vac hoses, delete emissions, get engine mounts, etc...
In your best interests, I would suggest to send the engine out for a rebuild. Kevin Landers has proven himself reputable, and he also might or might not agree to take both engines, and use the best parts from both. Don't quote me on this but it might be possible... :Wink: He's on this forum, so send him a PM or an email.
Also, order up a rotary engine stand adapter, it's a very useful thing to have!
This looks like a fun project, looking forward to it!
PS: IS this the engine in question?

Looks to be very complete, and in decent shape from the pictures...
