I've turned around the pan on a 1976 cosmo 13-b engine to put it into a RX-2.

The parts are available to do such things but the noise is an entirely different issue.

I recommend a long primary exhaust with two stainless packed pre-silencers and a huge and expensive rear muffler..........or earplugs.

here are some pictures of the project, so you could see im not BS, is still not done. just take that in mine before you criticize me,and work. also im not a mechanic just a guy that likes working on cars, and this is my first 510 project only major part of this project was to cut and flip and re-weld the crossmember, make the front motor mount ,and also the tranny mount. is almost there, just need a couple of more detail.http://s928.photobucket.com/albums/ad121/alexruano/
