Hey Everyone
Im starting to give up hope that I can find a -6 swap in my price range. I'm starting to look at other options and as much as I hate to admit it, the Subaru swaps are very tempting. I wonder though, what are some common pitfalls? - adapting the subaru -> 901 issues? Can the 901 handle 250+ bhp - cooling issues as a result of plumbing a radiator, ie air trapped in the system? - axles? can they handle 250+bhp? - wiring issues? Anything else? Thanks -Simon |

It's been done a hundred times, so there are people that can answer questions. There are at least a dozen build threads here.
The downside is the costs add up quick, but it's still cheaper than all the extras needed to make a P-6 work, then add the cost of the -6. All the cooling problems have been cause by owners being hot headed and clueless (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
