Straight answer:

Assuming you can find a Mazda rotary that still runs, you
put it in an experimental and name me as beneficiary on
your life insurance.

What's so bad about Mazda rotaries? AFAIK, homebuilders are still
successfully using them in a variety of designs; apparently there are
plenty available.

I only have experience with one Mazda, a little coupe I owned back in
the 70's. It ran great for three years until my ex drove it into a
flooded underpass in Houston. Smooth and fast as hell (the car, not my
ex) but a little rough on gas mileage, it had a 4-barrel carb on it the
size of a dinner plate.
