20B subframe or the defined auto works kit are your only off the shelf options. the defined autoworks kit being the better choice IMHO as it retains the factory subframe, and doesn't move the steering rack.

I'll be using a dry sump front cover for my engine & run a 1/2" or 5/8" thick plate across the bottom of the engine.
If you extend the plate a bit in the rest, you can drill/ tap the plate and place studs in it (allowing you to retain your OEM motor mount location (some slight modifications will be made, but I'm okay with that.
It's a couple hundred dollars more than the option (which is the nicest non dry sump option, in my personal opinion) but you get to drysump your engine while you're at it.
Dry sump front covers can be had for around 2,500.00 USD (New)

Many companies sell a custom subframe that allows you to drop the 20B into a FD. The drawback is always the steering rack gets relocated. An actual cosmo subframe wouldn't work.
