That's what I was thinking, but I have to resist the temptation to stuff anything else in that space.
I've been looking at the fuel system and running into problems, no surprise there. I really hate the dinky 7 gallon fuel tank which was a PITA with the 1500. It's going to be an even bigger pain with the rotary. The fuel mileage I was getting with this engine in the SA was actually pretty good, but you won't get far on 7 gallons regardless. I've been researching fuel cells with integrated FI capable pumps. The 15 gallon Aeromotive cell looks like the best bet. It's 20" W x18" L x 10" Deep properly baffled with the integrated pump. The only problem is that I don't need a pump that will support 1000 HP, Glenn might, but I don't. When I get up the money I'll have to give them a call and see if they can make me a deal on a fuel cell with the cheaper pump. Unfortunately this means rethinking my plans on the exhaust. The fuel cell will eat into the space behind the existing fuel tank for the stock muffler. I was planning to put the new muffler there, but there won't be any room now. I'll probably have to go with a pair of the shorty pre-silencers from RB and try to fit them before the axle, leaving the space beside the tank for the muffler.
Just scratching my head and rambling.
