  1. Thanks Numbchux! Excellent answer. Dad had a doner car for the electronics but it went to the salvage yard before I hatched this plot to save the engine. Sad really, but there it is. So, I will have to figure that out. You were absolutely right on the EG33 swap search. That is a gold mine. Sweet! So, to put this eg33 in an Impreza for instance, we will likely need to mod the radiator and definitely need to figure out the wiring but tying into the exhaust, trans, and motor mounts should be pretty straight forward, perhaps with adapter plates and things we can buy? Would you recommend a rebuild on the trans? Are there shops that you know of who specialize in this type of mod? Could be I will want someone to help with the wiring especially. Much obliged! Appreciate you taking your time and sharing your knowledge with me to push me forward on this project to remember my Dad.
  2. I have a very low mileage SVX 3.3 engine. Sub 10k miles. I would like to put it in a Subaru. Another SVX would work but the pickings are slim and the cars are 25ish years old. Will it bolt into a Legacy with the 3.0? Even cooler, how difficult would it be to put it into a Brat? That's a much more complicated resto. But would it require swapping tranny too, and if so, which one(s) will mate up with the 3.3? Or could I just rebuild the existing Brat trans? So many questions... In short, I am looking to find true Subaru Gear Heads. My calls/emails to dealerships and specialty shops near Baltimore have been fruitless so far. Another question is: Is there are market for this motor? Super low miles. Kept in a basement on a stand. No rust. No dirt. No mice. Bought initially for an aircraft installation. But Dad never finished the plane and after he passed I am just trying to do something cool with the motor. Would rather use it in honor of my Dad and enjoy it than sell it. Right now I don't know what the options are. Hoping I have come to the right place. D
