FD engine in an FC

Ok I read the FAQ and it wasnt much help.

I have a fd motor, turbo, computer basically everything it says I need but how do you put it in the fc? Does anyone make a subframe or anything?

Search "13B-REW" or just "REW".

three things I'd have to say...
1st. why even bother when a S5 Turbo motor would make about the same HP and it bolts in?
2nd. do you have more money than sense, as even if you had a FD motor, if you sold it, you could pay for the entire driveline replacement from non turbo to turbo in a FC and again it bolts right in. Toss in the fact that you wouldf be fabricating and custom part making to fit a $2500 motor into a $2500 car... and well???
3rd. Check out Teds site if you are dead set on this waste of money and time.
