91 FC Engine options swap, opinions needed!!

Just picked up my first rotary. 91 vert, all original 106k on the dash and motor. Seals are done for, and I have the money for a swap. Every website I've found that sells 13B engines are all turbo versions. I would much rather buy the same motor it had in it from factory N/A instead of having to deal with a bunch of converting to turboII. Idealy I would love to throw a motor and drive it around while i put the spare 13b on an engine stand and take my time learning to rebuild the rotary. I hope someone can point me in the right direction, this is new to me as I've only ever built Honda engines and cars. Thanks for the help! I'd post pictures but I don't know how to add them to these threads lol

my advice here then would be to get your post count up ( look in new member area for easy places to do so) and then head to the classifieds.

Many people are selling a perfectly fine N/A 13b for cheap as they are swapping to a turbo II or something.

Will give that a look, appreciate the info. I work overtime most weeks (summer is busy) so I barely have time to do hardcore research like I need to:/

I figured duplicating this might help you. Have fun
