I'm thinking of moving my 13b-t motor into the convertible and going with the cosmo 13b-tt motor in the Turbo II

Also - why 13b-tt cosmo and not the 13b-rew TT FD motor ??

Guess you haven't been reading the other threads...
Fabrication of the engine mounts is much more involved on an FD 13B-REW engine.&nbsp K2RD offers Cosmo engine mounts that let you practically drop any 13B or 20B Cosmo motor into the FC3S chassis.&nbsp I do not know of anyone selling pre-fab'd engine mounts that will let you drop in an FD 13B-REW engine into an FC3S - this means you pay someone else big bucks to fab something, or you do it yourself.
