Fanis, AJC-13B has a cosmo engine, which is close, but it's not a 3rd gen one!
Nevertheless, it'd be a better choice because it's simular, yet cheaper.
Also done by some else on the forum before, believe Mike is his name.
Hardest part? Getting it to run. Basicly dropping it in wouldn't require that much work. You'd need a flywheel and gearbox that fits the engine and the car. TII is best option, but requires some work to get it into the car. Basicly you could use a FB tranny, but I don't think it's gonna last long...
Problem would be the ECU. Aftermarket would be best idea.
Remember: you'll need a custom exhaust, an aftermarket ECU, some fabrication work, a lot of tuning work... It's gonna cost BIG $$$. If you have the money and time, and courage, yes it can be done. Just think about it, as you really have to be able to afford such a swap. And the whole thing will probable cost you near the price of an FD anyway...

I am putting a 96 cosmo engine in, using a TII tranny and a Haltech computer. So far things have gone kinda smooth, ended up having to rebuild the engine, now I am just doing final clean up, should be looking at mounting it soon.
