FD motor "bolt in" to FC chassis?

Just curious Im looking for a new project , and like the idea of a 13brew FC - I know wiring will have to be swapped but will the motor/trans bolt up to the existing mounts?

No. Custom mounts and plumbing along with the wiring must be used. On a plus side you can use a TII tranny and that will bolt into the chassis. I've done it, I know.

As answered by the guys ahead of me. It is not a bolt on. My FC is waiting for me to drop a motor in it (also waiting for a body kit too).

Didn't know you were looking into another project car. Is this for your own personal enjoyment or for the business?

I need a new toy - I think I have my Neon sold , and my FD needs a lot of $$$ to be the way I want ( bushings, motormounts, coilovers, paint, turbo, LABOR etc etc) So i figured rather than Halfass it, or destroy my FD by running it into the ground, I'd pull the motor, put it in an FC, and make the FD perfect, slowly, while keeping my rotary jones

Heh wait til you see our shop car.....
