Custom EASY to Make Front Engine Bar that bolts to Small Car Performance mounts. (this is when i was pulling the heads off to have them resurfaced for new head gaskets. and new timing belt of course.
This is a nice clean picture of how to make the bar. ( Oh one bolt is missing on top right of center (didnt replace it yet) I ended up modifying the Small Car Performance mount on the Drivers side. I flipped the mounting bolt location to the inside (not pictured in this picture) so i could put a brand new AMERICAN version of the water pump on. It exited out the front which is perfect, but the bolts were in the way, so once flipped. It worked perfectly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached image(s) |

Nice! I've been thinking about swaps lately as well and the Subie engines are high on the list.

Nice and clean install and economical! What was your thinking about not rotating the intake manifold 18 degrees?

the reason for the no 180 degree rotation on manifold is that AC is eventually going in and if i rotated it the compressor wont fit. Videos soon! i drove it to thanksgiving about 40 miles from my house....ran at 172 degrees whole way 80 mph.
weight not known yet. I'll get that done when i get it dynoed next week. it is just wideband o2 sensor tuned. |

So your exhaust sertup is individual mufflers for each side? What do you do for your O2 sensor?

Nice as for a kit, if you could manage to do put the radiator in the engine bay and save losing the front truck I would be interested. It would be rather nice to have a bolt in engine so that if you did want to go back it wouldn't take much more than an engine drop.
