i am putting a cosmo 13b-re in my car and from what i know of the 13b-re is that it actually produces more power than the 13b-rew. the RE has larger ports and better designed intake plenum runners. but no it wont just bolt up. as i understand the motormounts are different. i had to get fabricated motor mounts for my fc.

im installing a cosmo in my fd due to larger ports.i had the motor taken apart and installed single apex seals and i had to drill and tap the rear engine plate to make it bolt in ......but there is a ton of other stuff i had to swap to make it fit but it looks bad ***.and hope it will turn out to be fast
