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 |

I'm hoping to finish my SVX conversion soon. The EG33 is a great engine. Yes, there's not as much aftermarket, but for me 230 hp stock is enough. Yes it's heavier than a 4 cylinder, but not that much more. I picked up a low mileage (40K) and put all new gaskets and seals, etc. for not much money. Did I mention 230 hp/225 ftlbs stock? I didn't want to mess around with intercooler plumbing, turbos, etc. The 3.3L engine seems like a great choice for something that's powerful, normally-aspirated, and has a reputation of lasting a very long time.
