This failure that required a rebuild was unusual, but things do happen. That said, You could literally unbolt the engine mount and the mounting locations used for this installation are the same as for a Lycoming. It is less salable with a rotary than with a Lycoming, but it was a challenge and fun to make it work and build the plane and installation.
