So, whats the list of decent motors for a subaru swap?
What is the price range nowadays? If going down this road...is there a motor that can be upgraded to the STI motor over time??? Ideally I would like to figure out if a 2.5 liter legacy motor (or whatever) can have new cams and special head work and become an STI...etc... Rich |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/hijacked.gif) I am now in a dilemma in chosing a Suby engine myself. I thought I wanted to go the 2.5 Sti turboed with a Suby 5 speed tranny but, now I want to find out more about the ER33 SVX engine (6 cylinder N/A engine). Smallcar.com has a conversion kit for this engine to mate it to a manual 5 speed tranny (stock is an auto).
Someone chime in on any pros and cons with this option verses a 4 cylinder turbo engine. This may provide Rich with another option for a conversion as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Thanks! |

Someone chime in on any pros and cons with this option verses a 4 cylinder turbo engine. SVX is fine if you don't want to build it. It does not have anywhere near the after market support that the Impreza line of engines have. It was also designed for an auto tranny. Personal preference is that i would not use it, even though it is supposed to be a great engine. They are going to be older then many other Suby engines, parts are harder to get, and it weighs more.
