Once a certified airplane has had the engine removed and swapped out
with a Mazda rotary engine and aftermarket reducer drive, what steps are
nessary to fly without the FAA crawling up my butt?
I'm sure a regular A&P would run like hell from one of these when it
came time for an annual...

Oh my god, as if the thread about British cars wasn't full of enough
