I can get the motor for not much more than $50 bucks if its not reseved by someone already but in doing so what should i look out for or would be the risks.
 
Ah. Then it's whatever, go for it I guess. As far as I'd be concerned, rebuilding it is the only obstacle. What are you throwing it in?
 
The intake manifold is off which means there's water inside the housings which means they're rusted which means they're trash which means you need to completely rebuild the engine, probably with many replacement parts. There aren't many shops that rebuild rotaries, especially in Wisconsin, but you should Google it to make sure. It's probably going to cost you over $3k anywhere you go.
 
I'm gonna have to side with @Zenith here and say you probably won't get your moneys worth from this one. The engine is probably long done and to rebuild will cost a fortune. I would buy it, but not as a practical piece to expect to run with but maybe as a household decoration.

$50? You'll never get a good motor out of it but you could totally make an interesting coffee table out of the Dorito chip. Go for it.

This. My brother has numerous doritos just lying around from old engines of his. Look awesome in a bookshelf or something similar.
 
Any scope for dropping another lump in there, perhaps not even a rotary? You would still have a cool car, and your rotors to play with.
 
Yeah body didn't actually look to bad though i didnt inspect it very closely. Actually besides the FC there where atleast 4 or more 1970s RX7s 13A i beleve there aswell.
I could always pick up those two VG30's if i wana do engine swaps.
