     We don't sell rotary engines Richard. We run a free internet newsletter about them.
     The Mazda 13B will fit but the 300 pound weight may be more than a BD5 can handle.

Richard, the first homebuilt I ever worked on was a BD-5. The setup we were
working on was a Kawasaki Z1 900 aircooled engine. I was in until the owner
changed the power take-off arangement to an unsafe poorly engineered system.
We fell out over it but the engine was a good one. 170 pounds including the
transmission. The Midwest rotary would probably be a good engine as well.
