After long deliberation and a lot of research on my Subaru Conversion, I received this engine transmission combination in the mail from Alberta, BC. It's a Naturally aspirated SOHC Subaru 2.5 litre out of an Impreza TS (2003) with 118K miles. I was able to get the transmission and ecu from the same car. The tranny is a 5mt with hydraulic clutch.
I tried the donor car approach on Copart and kept getting outbid for what I wanted to pay. In the end I went direct on ebay so I could get the exact engine year I wanted and I did not have a hulk sitting in the driveway for the neighbors to look at. I paid more than I wanted ($1,574 with shipping) to but in the end , you get what you pay for.

Any other suggestions on the engine? Anyone know it that's a push or pull style clutch? Looks like a push from the photo. Ian, I will be needing your help once you are up and running.

Basically turned it into a pull with it looping around back. Then a bracket the cable bolts too. From there just through the clutch fork & uses the stock pedal cluster. It is a little on the stiff side. That can be changed with a little bigger throw on the arm. Hydrolic is a great way to go. I'd considered changing that out when I upgrade to my WRX turbo motor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
