curious swap

now don't flame me but i was curious if a 12a could be used in a FC chassis. I need to move my car around while i work on rebuilding my turbo II engine and i don't want it sitting around getting spider webs. plus i can work on external stuff while i am doing this rebuild. so i have a complete 12 fb motor just sitting in my garage.

The motor mounts are the only real obstacle I can think of, though I haven't spent much time under the hood of an FC.

This is why I keep a spare 13b runner in my garage (got it for $200). If mine goes pop, I have a junker to throw in there and drive the car and take my time on the rebuild..
