Well, you have to get the Wankel to mount to the 510 crossmember. What, exactly, are you looking for?

I'd suggest that if you're not confident in your knowledge and ability to complete this swap, you not start the swap until you are. There are a lot of tips for mounting a Wankel in the Engine Swap Guide, Part I, published in DQ. This article is currently online.

Selectmaz in Melbourne made up a fabricated cross member that supports the front of the 13B - you can just see in this photo. I can get more photos if interested. Bolts to chassis rails instead of crossmember. They built first Dazda rally cars in Oz 30 years ago so tried and tested solution.
