13B into non RX7

ok, say you were going to put a 13b from a TII into another car. im concidering either a MX73 cressida or a AE86 corolla. would you get a motor set? that includes a longblock, tranny, wire harness and ecu. or get a half cut/ wrecked TII with running motor?
im going to run a stand alone. i know custom mounts and drive shaft need to be made. i may even have to make the tranny tunnel bigger but i will be prepared for those tasks. just curious as to if im going to need all the accesorys and little tad bits that come with the front clip. im not going to have power steering or air conditioning. all emissions stuff will be removed since where i register my cars dont require it.
my plans for this is at first just run at stock power levels. eventully i will do the nessary mods to make around 400whp.
also, anything special i would need to know about the position of the motor, oil system, cooling? i never worked on a rotary before but theres alway been something about a 13b that has apealed to me.

thanks before hand for your help!

i was thinkin of gettin a sr5 and dumpin a 13b in it. in my case, i was thinkin of goin streetport 13b 4port with a carb so it would be alot easier. dont have to mess wit all the sensors and ecu crap.

ive seen a 20b in a hachiroku and a 13b-rew in a s13 b4. rotarys r small so it pretty much fits in any rwd car. i think as long as u make some custom motor mounts and cut a hole for the trany, ull be fine. lot of work though.
