12a to 13b re conversion

just trying to get some figures so i can decide whether or not to do the engine swap or do my suspension. i know i need to get new engine mounts and have to relocate them, but im not sure if i need to get a new transmission or driveshaft or anything else of that nature. any other info or suggestions you guys got would be great thanks

I wish I could be happy with just a 12A to 13B conversion.

I was sitting on if I wanted a 13b-rew engine, I depends what you want. If you want straightline power then go for the higher hp engine, but if you want to take corners like no tomorrow you're better off getting a modified nikki carb and putting 2 grand into your suspension. I think auto cross is more fun so I'm for the suspension. Also, it's way cheaper (about 2 grand for a good suspension set up, a minimum of 4 grand to swap your engine)
