FD Engine in an FC.Can I retain the FC cast Greddy?

I am going to toss a 13B REW in an FC.(all over but the install..)
My question is IF I can still use the Cast Greddy Manifold and T04S I was using on the old S5 TII setup?
Just wondering about clearance issues,as this setup is not done a lot.
Thanks Guys.
STYX.

If the cast manifold was from your S5 then yes it will fit on the REW, it's the other way around that doesn't work

I would be really interested in the diference in power and powerband when you are finished! I'm also curious on fabrication of mounting.

I didn't have to Fab anything.
I researched how to put it in with the Vulcan Mind Meld...and some Fancy FD engine to FC chassis brackets I bought on the internet.
This "build" will be in the Build section soon..when all the stuff is here and I start freezing my keester off doin it!

Not to get off topic, but why didn't you weld a piece of steel to the Fc subframe? IMO it's a more "solid" mount or mounting position. I've just heard the aftermarket mounts for fd to Fc cause even more areas on the oilpan.

These mounts are bolt on the stock mount holes and the FC mount positions,so I am not using any other areas...these mounts are built..very,VERY sturdy.
