Arrow 13b into a 12a car?

What can be used of the 13b off a 12a? Intake and headers different? Will it bolt in?
I have a guy who pulled a running 13b out to put a v-8 in and he thinks there crap motors so I am getting it for 100 bucks! Was just wondering what is all done to put it in?Plan on running with a carb so no fuel injection or anything.

Gee....guess this has never been asked before!!
Anyhow you will need to have a GSL SE oil pan
Front mount part # 11832 from Mazdatrix.

Is this a 6 port fuel inj. engine? If you are going carb, you have to get a manifold that mounts to the top part of the stock intake manifold.

What carb are you wanting to use?

Your 12a distributor will work.

Header is different. 13B is wider at the flange.

I would do it if the 13b is a strong running motor.
