Yes I have considered the 13B engine myself.  However it is incredibly
heavy!  I had always thought that the Mazda Wankel was light as well as
small until I went to look at one that was for sale.  The Subaru flat 4
must be at least 100lbs lighter.
I was considering it to power a very small grp car (Clan Crusader) that
normally has a Hillman Imp engine (Coventry Climax FWMA type) mounted at
the rear behind the gearbox, so weight is all important.
