I am still a LONG WAY from hanging the powerplant on my Cozy, but thought it
might be worth while starting to learn more about the engine and rebuild it
over the next number of years.  So, the engine that I might be interested in
does not need to be running at the end of the month.

I came across a rotary engine that someone pulled out of an RX7 (replaced
it).

This is what he said about it:
Basic engine block with no fuel injectors, no alternator, no starter,
includes pressure plate, clutch disc, power steering pump, all pulleys, no
belts no hoses.  Reason replaced has one blown seal on rotor.... make offer

Is this worth while?  Would I end up putting much more into this than it is
worth?

If so, what does one offer for such an engine?  I would suspect not much.

I used to buy them for three for $100.00 dollars from the core pile. All had obvious crash damage that prevented selling them for top dollar (500-600 dollars with a one year warrantee). If you had three you could generally come up with enough good pieces to build a good engine.
 
With known damage under $200.00 would be generous.
