Hi guys,
I've been trying to quietly watch since finding this group & I've already picked
up lots of good info, but I'm still very green when it comes to rotary engines,
so please excuse me if I ask some really dumb questions.  I have an opportunity
to purchase a used rotary (hopefully rebuildable) and I'm wondering how much of
the thing I really need.  There seems to be lots of peripheral stuff that may
not be necessary for aircraft installation.  I have located a couple of NA 13b
engines in the 86-90 model range.  I think I'd like to start with a carb set-up
and maybe the pre-85 distributor ignition.  So, the question is, How much of the
engine do I really need to purchase??  I've heard recommendations on using an
oil pump from the turbo engine.  Does anyone have a list of the necessities??

Thanks
Brooks

I would get as many things as possible. You never know, you might change your
mind and go with EFI. Those things become expensive if you try to find them
later. Gas tank high pressure fuel pump, coils, alternator, starter, intake
manifold with injectors, mass airflow sensor, exhaust manifold, down pipe
flange, computer and wiring harness. Handy if you want to run the engine 
and check it. This stuff is almost free if you negotiate when you buy the 
engine. Also it is good to sell later for those of us  that might need 
some of it.
