Because it takes too much fabrication to mount the motors as well as problems with the stock wiring unless you go EMS. Also, usually people have FCs because they don't have enough for an FD so they wouldn't spend the time and money to do the swap for just the engine when they want the whole car.

They are out there, but it's just too much effort for very little gain...

The people who waste their money on this prefer the term "slight gain"

I considered it, even went so far as looking at front clips but after investigation, I went another direction. As for the qoute above, Thats a pretty broad brush your painting with. If all 3 gens were lined up and I had to choose, I'd still pick the FC, there's just something about the car that makes me love it.
