Welcome to the forum and the Darkside. A 13B swap, in whatever form, is a preferred swap for the 12A. There are many variations of 13Bs that can be swapped in, it all comes down to budget, hp needs and skill level. This question, along with tires/wheels and body kits comprise the top 3 most frequently asked questions by new owner's.

Check the archives for write ups on 13B swaps, then decide on a hp goal and a budget. It's all downhill, into the money pit, from there.

In my sig line is a link to the online FSMs, carb manual and other rotary related reading. Download whatever you need and educate yourself. Once you have a better idea on hp goals and budget, we can offer more succinct advice.',',',',',',',

^^^ Like he said^^^ However it s a simple swap, but as stated previously there are so many directions one can go. Good 13b's are easier to find than 12a's so you shouldnt have any problems finding one, just make sure your getting a good motor.
