Dulon MP-21 CSR?
OK, I have this rat of a Dulon FF but it is straight and reasonably complete as a roller. I don't know of anyone who races a 21 or that has made a SR out of one. For all I know, it is a pig. But what the hell, it is sitting in the garage doing nothing but take up space so why not put it back in service.
After some waffling about leaving it as a CFF or converting it to DSR or CSR, I decided to go with CSR (hey, I'm 6' and 250 lbs. Too much of a penalty for DSR). Now, here is the part where I need help from all of you with CSR experience. First, I wish to use a rotary engine. All the trans adapters I see for rotary are FM style and I do not want to run my hewland that way. Do adapters exist that allow the rotary to bolt up to a hewland FF style? Who makes and markets them? Second, I have read that you must raise the trans about one inch to fit the rotary in the car. What has been the best way to accomplish this where the original hewland attachment points bolt directly to a non moveable/removable member of the chassis? Third, I haven't given this too much thought but have liked the idea of using 6" front, 8" rear wheels (from a S2 car). The DSR guys seem to go reasonably fast compared to CSR with wheel sizes of this kind. Anybody try this with success? Fourth, brakes will likely have to change. Any cost effective replacements out there?
That's all for now but I anticipate asking a few more questions before things are complete. Thanks in advance for any help you may offer.

Ben Beasley makes the adapters you are looking for, call Beasleyfiberglass 440 357 6644. Yes you will need better brakes, and the 6 and 8 tires will be to small once you start to go fast. also ck with Ben on bodies he has many types new and used. good luck

Dulon CSR
Thanks, Al. You folks were going to be my first call regardless. I just didn't want to waste your time if it looked like I was headed in the wrong direction with this Dulon.
