Fd to Fc conversion
hey guys I was wondering if anyone has found a kit has ever been made to install a fd motor into a FC body . I just got a FD engine and want to install it into a 91 GTU body . Is there a kit or do I have to relocate the cross member ???
Any thought would be appreciated

Not worth the time or effort. Sell it to one of the countless FD owner with blown motors and buy a 2 Rotor Cosmo (13B-RE). I think you'll find much better support for getting it working correctly than a FD motor. Plus you only lose a few HP by going with the -RE.

The "kit" is the least of your worries.
The motor will break all the rest of your non-turbo drivetrain.
Do you have a turbo drivetrain ready to install right now?

Good point but the answer is yes I actually have 2 drive trans with rear ends and trans.
I still havent gotten an answer to my main question ???????
Do they make a kit for the swap ???? I'll take the past few post as a NO
Thanks for the replies

I believe that Speed Machine makes the engine mounts, but that is the least of concerns. There's still all the custom fab work required (intake, intercooler, exhaust) and the fuel system (standalone and required tuning). It's far from a simple swap, even if you have "bolt in" mounts.

the polite thing is not to be an *** about it and just leave the thread alone if you dont like it/just gonna tell them to search.
and yes i believe speed machine does make the kit for both RE and 20b
