Not one but two NSU Wankel Spiders, with the rotary engine in the rear.

This 911 with no engine or transmission is for sale in my area, If it where somehow possible to register it afterwards, I would love to put a 13b in it.

I do not know about how it works in France, but here in the Netherlands it should be possible, with the side note that you would need a lot of patience and even more money to get it fully approved to be road legal.

In Finland there shouldn’t be much legal issues swapping a 13B into a 911. I haven’t seen very many cars here with a Wankel engine that didn’t come with one from the factory. The only one that I have seen was a super clean Ford Anglia that was built with drag racing in mind. It was very fast.

But you would need to hide rather big radiator(s) somewhere.

I guess the tendency is more to switch from rotaries to a V8 or Turbo 4, but rotary is life.
The radiator could go in the whaletail.

It’s the same thing in France. In theory it is possible, but it requires lots of testing, patience and money.

Depending upon where you are, at least in Belgium, you can register cars as an “oldtimer” with a very limited inspection, so you can get away with engine swaps. However, you can’t daily-driver the car (can’t take kids to school or drive it to work.)

In France, the only difference between an oldtimer and a normal car is that you have to get it inspected every 5 years instead of 2. There’s no limitation in usage. But you can’t modify them either. Oh, and you can get silver on black plates, which look way cooler than black on white.
