The GM press photos when the Monza was stil possibly going to be called the Chaparelle use the Chevrolet emblem we all are familiar with. I would think the rotary engine was dropped long before any emblems for the car would have been made, let alone designed. I could very well be wrong, of course.
It is definitely the same casing but hard to beleive there would be no chevrolet emblem in this front facia and rear facia emblem.
I don't think anyone has done a rotary swap. I think there is a short thread here on H-body.org discussing such.meangreen73vega wrote:Has anyone done a rotory engine h-body?

To the left is a view of the clay model that has been finished with a plastic film to simulate paint (c. 1972). note the rear rotary emblem on the rear fascia. The front and rear bumpers also seem to be seperate from the main body, similar to the initial design proposals and the first running prototype at Pininfarina. This model is remarkably similar to the final production version.
