74 Mazda Rotary Pickup for Sale
I have A '74 rotary powered pick-up that I want to sell. My father gave me the truck about six months ago
and I really don't have space for another vehicle.
My dad already restored the truck about six years ago and right before he moved to the Virgin Islands in 04/2004, we took the engine out and rebuilt the 13b. We wanted to get a little more out of the engine (my dad has been building rotarys for about 25 years) so we put on some headers, bridge ported the chambers and exhaust, put an aluminum intake manifold and a Holley 650 four barrel carb on it.
The engine turned out great, but there was one minnor thing we over looked and that was the automatic transmission. We couldn't get a smooth idle. It runs awesome on the highway and any time over 2000 rpm, but at 800 or 1000 it runs rough.
We realize we built a engine that likes to go, but it was a truck that we used to run for parts for our shop and it was not going to work with out going through mufflers. It would be great if it had a standard transmission and a little carb jetting. But as it went my dad had only a few days left before he was to get on a plane and start a new life in the USVI, so he couldn't finish and just left the truck with me. It runs the same way; I haven't had any time because I am restoring another car and running my dads old shop. I'm going to jet carb this week and see if that helps but I think the automatic trany might just pull too much vacuum. Anyway, I would like to sell the truck.
