Several years back I ran VW Bug with a 100 hp pinto engine in it.
 
This must be the only time in history that a Pinto engine was used as an upgrade :-)

        I put a turbo-charged, EFI Subaru engine in a 1966 Karmann Ghia. That is 145 HP in a 1700 lb car. Definitely an upgrade. =:^O The conversion was very successful. You can see why I am not overly hesitant to put a rotary in an airplane. Geez, there are even store-bought conversion parts.

        I will second the point that you must have a bleed at the highest point in the system. It is best if this bleed is connected to the purge tank.
