Any Subie conversion shops in southern California, Just bought a roller and looking to do a Subie conversio Options

[Thunderchief]

Just purchased my first Porsche. A 1971 914 with a dead motor so I figured the best bang for the buck would be a Subie motor/trans swap but I'm having trouble finding a shop in southern California. Renegade is backed up for several months. Any recommendations would be very much appreciated.

With all do respect . its alot cheaper and faster to buy a car with the conversion already done

Getting a roller and building it up will be the most expensive and time consuming route

In most instances this logic applies , their are exceptions but .


any so cal shop will charge you 20x
What the work is worth(if its even quality fab work) . so stear clear of that route . i would buy a parts subaru car and send it to mexico to do the swap before a so.cal shop.

But i think getting the car in shape (paint body, electric ,suspension,brakes etc.)

Will keep you busy while figuring out engine config

I can recommend a machine shop to revive your dead engine if you want ?











And you do understand that subaru conversion requires
Cutting the car up , as in non reversible mods
( not for the faint of heart) ( me ! )

That isn't true at all. None of the mods done for my suby conversion car are irreversible. Although why the hell if I did it would I want to reverse it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . More power reliability to go anywhere & buy parts at any auto parts store (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
