ROTARY SAAB

Has anyone even done a rotary engine swap for 96? I know that some NSU rotary engined Ro80's were retro-fitted with Ford V-4's. These same Ro80's are now being retro-fitted with Mazda rotaries. It would seem that the V-4 and Mazda bell housings must be similar? I think that a rotary powered 96 would be a very cool machine with ties to Saabs old and new. The rotary is small, light, has no valve-train, is tuned by port alteration, and just seems "saab-like" in it's "jet-turbine" like rotary motion. Any thoughts? Just think, instead of your old beast going "ring-ding-ding", it would go "zing"!
