To swap, or not to swap...

Decisions, decisions.

I currently own an '87 n/a. I picked it up from a buddy who inherited it...literally. I'd always wanted an rx-7, but I wanted an FB, not an FC. Anyways, the body of this car is crap. It's been in an accident (front end hit) and has some rust. I call her "The Bond-O Queen". But... the engine runs strong. Besides some electrical stupidity, I haven't had a problem under the hood. And that coolant hose. That sucked.

To get to the point, I've decided that I either want to pick up an FB w/ a good body an no/blown motor and swap the s4 13b into it, or sell the FC and buy an FB, hopefully an '85 GSL-SE. I know the latter is easier, but I like to wreak havoc in my garage, so... which would you guys do?

I'd say go for it, a completely intact donor will greatly simplify the process.
