Anything is possible, but it is more feasible to have good used engine parts shipped to you for a rebuild.

it all depends if you already have the 12a and plan to make the mounts yourself, and all the custom work yourself. if not cost will be the same to slowly piece up a 13b. or rebuild what you already have.

More trouble than it's worth plus you will have less power.

it's not a simple bolt in. ultimately, i don't think it would be worth your effort. you're better off just waiting and finding someone/somewhere to import a rebuilt 13B if you have no interest in building one yourself.
