Subject:Rotary engine transplant

So, I was thinking, (always dangerous), I wonder if anyone has put a rotary
in a vanagon?
I have seen it done to a Karmann Ghia before.
It is a sweet and smooth engine.  Maybe a bit short on low end torque, but
that redline and high end would make up for a world of short gears.
Probably would be a gas hog, too.
And I would bet the two rotor turbo motor out of a late RX 7 weighs a lot
more than the Wasserboxer.
Any experience with this out there?
