What is the diff in weight between a type4 and V8? If the V8 has aluminum heads, what do you save...50lbs?

V8 longblock (smallblock) 550lbs add rad, fan, hose, water, etc...
Plus the centre of gravity is higher.

T4, what around 280lbs full dressed?

Yeah. I think the sixes weigh in at around 400, right?

The subaru motor is slightly heavier than a TIV, and puts out 280horse & 280ft/lbs or so. All the weight is on the bearing line.

Scorchio.

I have a spare 1.8 subaru single turbo engine that needs a rebuild if anyone is interested in doing a project. I have an early style (tailshift) motor mount bar for it. I will even help with the project. It has a distributor, so you don't have to do electronic ignition, unless you want. It puts out 150 horse in stock trim with low-ish boost and no intercooler. That can be improved with better boost control.
