Chuck Most Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'm kicking around the idea of a project with tandem Mazda rotary engines, and on the cover of that issue is an Andy Brizio-built '32 Ford roadster with just such a setup. I'd like to see how everything was packaged in there, and I can't seem to find any pics online other than the image on the cover. The car still exists, but is now powered by a snooze-inducing SBC. I'd appreciate any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) The basic design of Wankel engines allows the rotor sections to be 'stacked' with relative ease, needing not much more than a custom eccentric shaft, and longer bolts to hold it all together. My guess would be that that's how it was done in the car you're looking for. Here are some many-rotor race engine shots to get you in the ballpark...

Chuck Most Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 I've seen a 13b torn down and always wondered if you could 'stack' the components like that- guess now I have my answer. Thanks, Bill- I think you just helped me out more than you could possibly imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin T Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Ahh yes the six rotar Wankel. The sound that thing makes is just amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay9pTLa3mSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
