If you can, I suggest driving it for a while with the stock motor. Far too many people buy the car and yank the drivetrain out first thing; they never get to drive it. Even the ones who finish the swap never get to enjoy the car the way it was originally designed, as a low-powered momentum-preserving grin machine.

Try it, you may like it...

Totally agree.
Also, by doing so you'll establish the condition (and value) of the original drivetrain should you decide to go forward with the transplant.

That is too cool - thanks for the link!

...and I agree with others - drive it for awhile and enjoy the car. Too many of these stay perpetually on JS for years (and years) during "projects" and upgrades.

Looks like a great start!

FYI A tig welder is not a good welder for dirty/rusty metal. Be prepared to get or borrow a Mig welder. Much easier to get to difficult to reach and dirty areas.

Welcome!! Like the rendering. Give some thought to black front and rear hood. Have fun with the build.

I have a subie WRX 2.0 turbo conversion which previous owner had completed by Precision Chassis Works in Phoenix.

The engine is an L33. 5.3 liters 315hp stock. Got a 92mm fast intake and a batwing oil pan. Planning a cam swap and headers. Maybe I'll turbo charge it later like that Kiwi fellow! Boxster 6 speed, done and done, all except flares a cage and a thousand other things. Hot rod! Attached Image

Thanks! Planning the car on my computer. Been using rhino 3d for the last 7 years or so for another project in the works. It's a great tool.
I've seen your car lots of times. She's a beauty.

Thanks! Yeah thought about buying a mig. She's a little rusty but not too bad. Compared to some projects I've seen on here I got very lucky. Front has a little crash damage, rust in the front trunk a little under the battery right rear jack point and the door sill. It was garaged when I found her. Guy had big plans but was moving to a condo. Dough!

You went from acquisition to engine in a matter of a couple weeks? If so, fast moving...

Strongly consider installing some significant reinforcements - if you've come this far, this quickly, you probably already know this but just sayin.

Best of luck.

Oh its been awhile since I got her. Remodeling a house too. Was thinking reinforcement wise, I'll put a full cage in it, with tubes triangulation the front and rear. Was thinking those reinforcement kits aka doubling the panel thickness might not be the right way to go. Gonna keep the uni body intact as much as possible. Sorry I'm not making her what she came out of the factory as! I've always wanted to hot rod stuff. Don't worry I won't put Porsche badging on my Chevy motor.
