I have been leaning towards a SBC but recently found out that KEP makes the adaptor for a subie opposed 6.I am trying to get to about 8 to 10 lbs per hp.Will the 3.3 fit without major pita and what would be the weight to horsepower ratio.

Yes, someone did a 3.3 6 a long time ago, Eric Tischer. If you do a search on this board or the web you'll find info. There is at leas one other member here actively working on a 3.3 conversion as well.

From what I have read, the 3.3L 6 puts out 228 HP. So it depends on the weight of your car. I would figure a stock car with that engine would be somewhere in the 2100 - 2200 lb range, so that gives you between 9.2 and 9.65 lbs/horse.

I managed to get my early car down to 1888 lbs by stripping out all the sound deadening tar, using fiberlgass bumpers, and a few other small things. I'm running a 2.5L Subaru engine which is I believe considerably lighter than the 3.3L engine. With 165 HP that puts me at 11.4 lbs/hp. BJ's car (before it broke) was I think 1965 lbs with at least 300 HP, so thats 6.6 lb/hp... (turbo 4 cylinder motor)
