Cool dropping FD 13B into FB

Was afraid to ask, now that I see someone was asking about 20B, it's probably OK to ask:

What does it take to drop those FD motor into FB?

Is there any pointer, someone's note or even success stories?

Thanks in advance.

What is you Budget??
This will not be cheap i researced this before doing my swap and
it ended up costing a bit more than twice the cost of an FC to FB
swap. If you do decite to go this route dont try and source the parts individually, Go find a junk FD and get a front cut. This will save you a ton of parts searcing nightmares.

I see you have a Miata, It would be easyer to put
an FD motor in the Miata.

the best way is to get a front cut, seen done a few time before help a mate to do it a while ago. wasn't to hard, but its all on your budget.
