14B technical specifications

Heya I'm doing some research into the 14b engine for an idea on a project.

Project "X"
14b/13b engine onto a motorcycle frame

I am trying to keep the costs on this project as low as possible so I want to find an existing bike frame to stick it in. To do that I need to be directed to a place where I can find the dimensions on a 14b/13b. I've been browsing the internet so far and have come up with ziltch so I was hoping someone can help direct me.

Also I was hoping if anyone knew if the 14b or 13b could run without a radiator and just be aircool.

Rotary engines look small enough to fit on a bike frame. Plus they are about 400-600 dollars used. It's alot cheaper than buying a used harley engine.

Any input would be greatly appreciated

And please don't flame me, it's unorthodox, but it might work

I think 14b refers to a turbocharger. 13b is the motor. But to answer your question.... i wouldn't recommend air cooling a rotary car engine, it produces alot of heat and the aluminum housings are very prone to warping if overheated. Even the airplane rotaries like the mistral g-190 water cool their engines, and they move much faster through the air. I like the idea though.
