More things with the FC subframe. My method of mounting made the wheelbase longer. Meaning the stock radiator mounting doesn't work. Its too close to the engine. You will need to either use another radiator and make a mount for it or reconfigure the stock one. But if you are going to redo it, might as well do improve it.

Also, if you use the FC steering column in the FB, things to consider:

1, the turn signal wiring is all different. Works for me because it removed it and its all on dedicated switches.

2, I used the FB steering column retainer that bolt under the dash after removing all the FC brackets. BUT the column needs another attachment point to be steady. I ended up welding a "C" shape bracket with and end bent out that had a threaded nut welded to it (has to come back out). Then another L bracket with a hole to the firewall. connected by a bolt. You might have a better idea, but i lack a lot of machining abilities so i had to use what i could.
