Hey Everyone

Im starting to give up hope that I can find a -6 swap in my price range. I'm starting to look at other options and as much as I hate to admit it, the Subaru swaps are very tempting.

I wonder though, what are some common pitfalls?

- adapting the subaru -> 901 issues? Can the 901 handle 250+ bhp
- cooling issues as a result of plumbing a radiator, ie air trapped in the system?
- axles? can they handle 250+bhp?
- wiring issues?

Anything else?

Thanks
-Simon
