The installation is complete! I couldn't be happier. No more jack stands! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Attached Image

Ray, nice project & nice progress! I like the Subi SOHC motors. Got a similar one in the 01 OB. Bought intentionally as a future donor.

Enjoy!

I am not going to make it to the RRC this year, I don't think my car will be ready. I am hoping to have it running by the end of September. I am working on the radiator install right now. I fabricated the mount and I am working on the shroud. Attached Image Attached ImageAttached ImageAttached Image

I am a Subaru fan as well. This will be my fifth one, first one in a Porsche. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It just seems like the right choice for my 914.

I made some great progress this weekend. I completed my radiator mount/shroud fabrication. Hey Mueller, I put the shroud together with solid rivets, nut plates and a few rivnuts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

The tranny and the engine are mated. It looks like I have to remove some sheet metal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) The starter, clutch relase arm and the tail of the tranny are hitting the sheet metal.

I picked it up off of e-bay.

I also ordered the correct lower vibration mounts. Found the Toyota part number and ordered them from Amazon. It worked out pretty nice.

This a four day weekend for me. I have been in the garage non stop for the last 2.5 days and I plan on doing the same until tomorrow night. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I still don't think I will make the RRC. Jamie, I would love to make it so I could see your beautiful car firsthand.

I am not sure it would be of any use. The shrouds where made to fit the radiator mount that I fabricated. I am more than willing to share what I have. I made the patterns for the shrouds out of poster paper.

Not sure if the axle alignment is correct? I realize that the suspension is unloaded but the Subaru sub axles appear to be about 2.5" forward of the hubs. I am using Ian's cradle so there is no adjustment fore or aft. Any ideas?

Your Axles should be fine there. Shouldn't add such an angle you will have an issue. Especially with your build. If you were doing a 6 or WRX crazy build. HP wise it might be something to worry about. I'd check mine but it is off for paint. I'd see how it looks with your Axles bolted up with your CV's. I remember Renegade's v8 builds used a 1 1/2" set back blocks for the transmission. Seen some that were pushed back even farther & did fine. I'm thinking the extra couple inches forward is to help with your intake & maybe not needing to cut the trunk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Cool. Thanks for the reply! I was able to flip my intake so I didn't have to cut my trunk for that, but I did have to put a small hole in it for the clutch release arm. I am now trying to figure out the fuel system. The EJ253 doesn't appear to have a return line from the fuel rails to fuel tank??? I am guessing I will have to source a fuel pressure regulator that has a bypass to allow the unused fuel to return to the tank or I could just keep the pedal to the floor and not have any un-burned fuel.
