It was called, I believe, the Rotary Pickup (or RP for short). I don't recall
the "official" designation. Similar to but not identical chassis to the
B2000. The rotary is a difficult swap into the B2000 IIRC. The RP used a
carbureted 13B with a very heavy flywheel. Along with the RX-4, the RP was
the earliest 13B application (don't recall which was first, but it may well
have been the RP). As I recall, the RP says ROTARY in large embossed letters
on the tailgate.

I bet there are others on the list who can provide much more detail.
