Do you really think one can connect the output of the Wankel with the land/water transmission and maintain the proper configuration? I assume a frame of some kind could be made to mount the engine. Where does the exhaust come off now. Any chance of a simple J-tube as is currently on the Amphi?

As far as your comment: "The only thought I really have is how that would affect the value as it would no longer be original. The project seems quite feasible."

The real value of the Amphicar is the fun one has with it, especially if you plan to be buried at sea in it. One can always keep the old parts should someone want an original.
