you can do it pretty easily, make up a plate to go over the front cover, will have 4 bolts in it, then some square tubing to the rails with some angle iron welded on the end and bolted to the datsun rails if you wanna solid mount it, otherwise ive seen it done but putting bushes on the end similar to swing arms so you have a bit of movement there. You could probably modify a RX3 x member and mount to fit, pretty sure some dude makes repo ones for a decent price.

There is no kit. But it's much like any other engine swap. See photos and overview at Mazda rotary engine swap

Everybody welds it in slightly different places. As far back is possible is better for peformance, but farther forward makes it easier to fit in. Put the powertrain in place, mark where the mounts line up, the weld it there.

Best to jump on ausrotary.com, do a bit of a search if you can, its be done many times before and the cunts there should be able to help you out.

What city do you live in?
I can point you in the right direction if your in Adelaide, Vic or QLD.

If your in SA ive got an allot radiator, fuel system, oil cooler, IDA EFI and a few other rotary parts that could come in handy if your chasing anything.
