fc turbo swap
 
i have an 87 Turbo II and was wondering how difficult (or even if it's possible) would it be to swap it for a twin turbo from an FD, as my friend had an FD that was totaled in a rear end accident. i know i would need to swap the exhaust manifolds, but overall is it even possible?

i'm not looking to do a full engine swap, just the twin turbo scrolls

possible? sure.

my question though, if i may, is why?

That would be alot of work for a cosmetic gain.

A spacer would probably be required to allow the turbo to clear the LIM, then you'd also need a custom downpipe & custom ducting to connect up to the intercooler. And obviously they would not be running sequential either, since you'd be without the solenoid mess on the 13B-REW.
