Engine swap
Ok i bet this questine has been asked tons of times. Would it be a big pain in the *** to swap the engine from a fc and put a fd motor in? 
I think this would give the fc a great power gain. Also what would be the best way of getting the engine, getting it from a crashed fd, buying it from a speciality store? And roughly what price would i be looking at w/o instalation? thanks guys

An FD motor has only a 50 hp gain on an FC and it will cost to much more to buy an FD than a modified(street ported, bigger turbo etc...)FC motor to consider such a swap.
Just my opinion.

I hope you're starting out with a Turbo II in the first place.
An NA runs weaker drivetrain parts and will break with elevated power levels.
You're better off building up the 13BT.
