Have someone compentent rebuild the tranny and don't abuse it, should last a while. That solves the PPF issue. Otherwise you're stuck building some pretty intense bracing mounting for the rear. PPF was there for a reason.

That brings about mounting the 13BT in the FD though. That's not going to be easy, I don't think. Benefit is though that you have the engine pretty well located with the PPF, so there will be little to no fore/aft guess work and only a little side to side.

A 13B-RE can have the rear iron tapped and use the stock FD mounts, I don't believe the lands are on the rear plate for the BT engine. I dunno if it's worth it to go through all the hassle, might be better to sell the 13BT and buy a 13B-REW, should be close to a wash and save alot of headaches. It's what I would do, but I'm going the RE route.

Congrats again on the addition DJ........ trying to fill your rotary stable before the thought of college comes to mind
