Well in a crossmember behind the stock FC stock engine cradle.
Use the stock FD3S engine mounts.
Call it a day.
Control of the engine is very similar to the FC's 13BT's.
I'd stay away from the stock twins.
They are not very reliable.

Yeah, it's a question on how you want to mount the engine...
Cause, you're right - the stock 13BT is not mounted in the center of the transmission tunnel!
I can hear the gasps now...
Mazda mounting the engine slightly to the left to allow the exhaust to run down the same tunnel.
The car I worked on pushed the engine directly in the middle - easiest to measure - and we didn't have any problems with it running.
I guess you can mark the spot where your original 13B was sitting and then place it there, but I don't think a few mm ("inches" for us U.S. folks) off is going to make any difference.
Thanx for the kind words on the website!

you're right, the hinges of the driveshaft should be able to compensate this little deviation in alignment!

ok so there are no aftermarket mounts available... i''l have to try to fabricate them myself... why not
is it possible to bolt the stock fan (stock pulley) to the front plate of the rew?
(please don't start a mech fan/electric fan discussion, just assume i'm veeery happy with the stock fans performance)
any other issuesi might consider??

nzconvertible: Even if the FC pulley could bolt to the FD pump (no idea but I wouldn't count on it), it would place the fan in a different position compared to the FC and so require a custom fan shroud. You'd have to decide whether or not that's easier than using an e-fan.
by the way, nice turbo vert there! in europe the verts came only in turbo version, mine's a '91 s5 turbo vert!
aaroncake: Custom fuel system, custom intercooler, custome intake, custome exhaust, custom cooling system, etc. etc.
but most of that i've already got

aftermarket mounts http://www.motivefab.com/
stock harness and a PFC would be the best way to go IMO

okay, have some troubles with these abbreviations but i'll get used to it
the power fc would be a nice solution, thought about it... but:
don't flame me, i wanted to max out the stock twins, 'cause i like the low end response of them, don't think the PFC supports them, does it??
