pre-engine swap questions

sometime between now and christmas I'm planning on getting a new engine and transmission. I have a 90 GTU right now and I plan on going turbo so I was curious as to whether it's worth it to try and swap in an REW from an FD or should I just stick with the 13BT? I already did some checking on the BT and it doesn't look like it'll take much more than a day or two and i can keep my current radiator. For both engines how difficult is it as far as the wiring harness and installing the engine and transmission. If memory serves me correcty the BT should just bolt right up and i requires a shorter drive shaft or something like that. How much more of a pain in the *** is it to do an FD swap? Thanks for all the help

Stick with 13B-T. Forget about the REW.

REW is a waste of time.

if you have an FC, use the 13bt
