twin turbo 13B-REW into FC?
how difficult a task would it be to put a Cosmo 13B-REW (the same as the FD 13B-REW essentially, right?) into my FC?
i know the engine mounts are slightly different, but that couldn't be too hard to alter now could it?
It is just that i haven't heard of anyone doing it, so i assume that there is something that makes it not worth the effort (besides the cost & availability of the engine itself)
Any advice, or pointers to website detailing this engine transplant much appreciated.
If i buy the engine, it is complete with the stock twin turbo set-up. Should i anticipate any problems there?
i have just found a package that is quite a good deal, and am seriously considering it.....
Thanks 4 any replies,

The engine mounts on the Cosmo engine are similar to the FC motors in that they are on the middle housing. K2RD sells a kit that allows you to use your stock mounting points in your car and on the motor, and it fits in just like a turbo2 motor. Although... the FD motor has the mounts on the rear housing. In which you would need to physically modify the housings and mounts to get the motor into the car, you cannot just buy some mounts and bolt it in.
