13BT into 82 chassis.

I did a search and couldn't find much. Currently I have an 82 GS with a 74 13b 4 port from a Rx4. I think the motor has a bad water O ring seal its seems to be going through a lot of coolant. Anyways I have a RB alm fly wheel on that motor and lot of other rb goodies. Will the S5 motor physically bolt up to my current tranny. Its a 82 also. Will my dizzy fall in the hole and are the gears still there to turn it. Will my flywheel bolt in and still work. My ignition is currently msd direct fire on the leading side. If there is no gears for the dist shaft would it be hard to tigger the msd box. For the intake I was going to swap over my holley 550 and buy the 4port turbo manifold from RB. Basically my goal is swap in a Jspec turbo motor for go all the electronics, pull off the turbo assembly, run my holley, my car currently has the complete rb road race header street port exhaust use that as my exhaust sytems. If all that is a drop in, then later do a lot of fabing and install a new/better turbo. If its going to be a lot of work then I will just rebuild my current motor. Is it pretty straight forward or lot of chopping and fabing.

yes it will all work. you will need to swap over the gsl-se oil pan that is on the current motor and the front cover for mounts.... other than that there is no change in patern for bellhousing. yes you will be able to use your dizzy.
