So I am at the stage of planning my build. I know what I want out of, basically have as new as possible drivertain while keeping the body close to stock look.

 

I know I want a frankenmotor built with the most power I can get out of it. I am going to forgo a turbo and supercharge it. My mind is set on that so no debates.

 

What I need to know is how new can I go for transmission, suspension, etc? I am planning on having to fabricate somethings to make it happen, so not intimidated by it. So anyone that has done a similar build, thoughts would be appreciated.

 

I plan to document this build in high detail. I love reading build posts with photos and test drive videos and plan to do the same. The build starts in July, want to get my ducks in a row now so I can hit the ground running.

May I suggest you do the EJ22 swap. There are much more after market parts for them then the EA engines.

My frankenmotor will be a 2.5 block with 2.2 heads. I have researched a few subaru superchargers already. There are enough resources here for the motor, it's the suspension and tranny that seems to be sparse.

I posted this in the retrofits section as that seemed the proper place.
