So I'm looking into putting an sti awd drivetrain into something like a datsun z car. Any one have any experience with this, I'm almost positive there's never been one in a z but Wyatt about other rwd sports cars? I understand there would need to be some fabrication to the front anbd rear end, most likely I would swap the entire front end in, and I understand there would probably have to be some custom shift linkage as well. Where I'm confused would be the electrical, what kind of computer do these engines ruin? Can they be set up to run stamd alone? What about A.C.? Any experience with installing A.C with an engine swap like this? Would I be better off trying to pick up a drivetrain already pulled out of a sti or should I find a donor car? Thanks in advance!

So I've seen quite a bit about people swapping newer engines into older Subarus like brats and what not, what do they do about the ecu? Do they flash it so that it works with the older system? Or do they buy new computers meant for these swaps? Also how do these newer engines work with the older mechanical gauges? Edit new to subies for the most part, I've maintenaced them but never modified one or tried to swap one
