87t-66 so you saying im better off using my stock tranny and driveshaft instead of the ones i have from the 13b rew i would want to use the 13be rew tranny because it holds more power then the stock fc if it is not to hard to use it in an fc

It'd be best to use a TII transmission, but if you already have the FD trans, then I don't see a problem with using it. The clutch hydraulics might be a little difficult, but I'm not sure how the FD is set up. You may need a custom clutch hose, and the transmission crossmember will probably need to be modified. Then you'd need a custom driveshaft made, but that'd have to get done anyways with a swap from NA to TII trans.

Also isn't the FD trans a pull type clutch where the FC is a Push type clutch or is it the other way around?

Pull-type clutch
A clutch in which the clutch release bearing is pulled away from the flywheel when the clutch is disengaged

Push-type clutch
A conventional clutch in which the clutch release bearing is pushed towards the flywheel when the clutch is disengaged

The FD is a pull-type clutch:
