Difficult. Extremely. The actually engine itself can work with a modified FC front subframe, but getting all the electronics to work properly in order to run the engine optimally (ie - the same as it does in the Rx8) you'd need to run the stock ECU with a piggyback (Adaptronic, COBB Accessport, or use the MazdaEdit program). Even with those things holding true, there are over 90 wires that have to be ran for the stock ECU to operate.
That is just the engine. Then you need to worry about brakes for the increased speed, suspension, and chassis upgrades for the increased power. Tires, blah blah blah.
For the sake of simplicity, there are far better options for a swap. Like any turbo rotary. Get an S4 TII engine. A much more simplistic swap with a much higher potential.
Having said that, and I've been noted as saying it since the Rx8 was announced - A Renesis swapped FB is a fantasy of mine for a daily driver/street driven car. I love how smooth that engine is and the power delivery of it. Those things combined with the light chassis of an FB and I'd be happy.
