Should I get this FD for potential engine upgrade?

The swap is a pain in the ass...even at that cheap price.

Unless you have welding and fabrication resources, it's not going to happen.
No one that I know of offers a pre-fab adapter(s) for this swap.
Previous adapters I've seen are poorly designed (see Evil Forum).

It's worth more for an FD3S owner - so just resell the pieces back to them.

It's temping to "upgrade" to the 13B-REW, but in the end, the 13BT will hit 90% of the same power levels without breaking a sweat, when set-up properly.
It's just bragging rights to claim you're running a 13B-REW in your FC3S chassis.

Yeah, the welding and fabrication I have no problem at all with access to excellent resources.

Assuming you have the storage space & time to pick it apart and sell the pieces, at $300 you can't loose - even if you don't use any of it.

Cheers,
