I put a 13b in my 81 that had a 12a. All that is necessary is to get a different engine mount bracket for the front as the 13b is a little bit longer. Racing Beat sells them. The tranny mate up is identical. I think the engine diff is in wider rotors.. Of course, I am refering to the short block. I don't know about exhaust manifolds, etc.
