13b rew in an FC

Yeah, the way I see it, the 13b REW is already a hell of an engine and I didn't want to start off with a crazy fire breather. Not to mention I would already have the necessary components to make the swap work without investing in lots of after market components.

Now I am just clueless as to how to wire this thing up to the FC. I believe I would be able to use a starter from the FC, but am not too sure. I am told I can bolt the REW to the stock transmission from the FC so long as fabricate or buy some custom mounts to get the engine into the engine bay.

Either way I appreciate the reply and it does make me feel a little better with having wanted to leave the stock ECU. The only question that remains is can it be done and is there a guide out there that can help me with this.
