Which engine is this?

At the junkyard someone was basically paying me to take thier wankel out of thier yard. It was wierd tho, i dont know what engine it is, but heres what i got, its got a shiny round looking exhaust manifold, unlike my cast one, Dual dizzy's, and a carb...just wondering if i should pick the thing up.

10a or 12a from before 73. based on the exhaust, im guessing its a 12a with an aftermarket header of some sort. best of luck on it being a 10a

Pick it up and notify Jay Leno: he has a 12A in his 110 cosmo.

I would say if it is less then $50 then go get it it.

If you look on the main page just below the 1st gen section there is an other rotary. those guys are sure to know what it is.
