Lightbulb motor swap/build

i have a 91 turbo that i have build up a few times in the past with different s5 motor and turbo setups. Now i am "doing" something a little different, i am swapping to a 13b-rew and i was wondering if there was anyone that has done the same thing and has some pointers on it.

i have the motor, trans, engine harness and order a power fc for the 13b-rew. i found motor mounts for the swap they look kind of weak. the motor has been street ported and the intake port matched, large single turbo, 720cc P and 1600cc S injectors.

thanks for the link to that write up. the biggest part i was worried about was all the dash wiring for the gauge cluster and idiot lights.
