I was just given a SVX 3.3 motor, complete with harness and FI. Has anyone used this version in their 914? Since it's free, it's a good one but, is it a good match up for the car?
If I use it for one of the 914's, I will rebuild it completely first, I'm not sure what I would need for the conversion. I know there's more than one thread here on Subaru engines, just trying to wrap my head around what will be required and what the level of effort is. My thought would be to buy a good roller, install flares if they are not already there and then drop it into that. I guess the first question is, has anyone here used this motor before? |

Man that’s great, a free engine! And not just any.. these are really durable, I think someone mentioned that the crank journals are basically all like main journals. These engines are sought out for twin turbo because of this (in part). Also, apparently the coolant path is superior to the ez30 if I’m not mistaken (ez30 has its own set of advantages tho). Anyway congrats !!!!
Is that engine missing any of it’s components ? . |
