There are ready made kits/mounts available for them cars to bold the JZ in, if your handy at this sort of work get a few mates round and you should get it done cheap enough but there is so many little niggly bits you need to get in engine conversions you dont really know until you come up against a problem, them little things dont be long turning in to thousands €€. Make sure you do your homework on which would be the easier to tranplant into and with the least work/money, TBH if its going to be a daily car I wouldnt take the rotary, I myself love the engines I nearly bought an FD a few times before the bubble burst but I couldnt bring myself to hand over money, the engine just scared the shit out of me, Rotary heads will come on and defend them now but with good reason because there savage little engines but the facts dont lie, I'm a member on Irish roatary (havent been on it in a while now) but when I was doing the research the amount of rebuild treads was scary, nearly every donedeal add has wrote on it "rebuild" so I came to the conclusion at some stage of ownership I was porbably going to have to rebuild which was 2.5k gone from the pocket just like that, so I said fuck it, just keep in mind when considering the rotary.
