Like the title says, I am looking for one to swap into an 06 Baja. Anybody have a good source for these? A local JDM importer sells them with around 30~60k miles for about $1800, with accessories and manifolds but I thought I would ask here as well.

I assume you want the 3.6 and not the 3.0?

 

They're not terribly common or cheap.  The 3.0's can be had much easier/cheaper as they're older.

Is that jdmenginedepot?  check them out.

Have you driven one - they are typical Subaru and not super-aggressive, jumpy acceleration demons?  surprised you're not going forced induction?

 

how much lift is this baja getting!?

Likely will be forced induction, the 3.0 has allot less to manage and should produce a good output. Baja is already lifted; http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/147786-lifted-baja/

A little mighty car mods motivation going on here!?

If you end up needing any smaller stuff (Motor mounts, flywheel, heads, hoses, sensors etc.) let me know. I have an 06 H6 that I suspect threw a rod sitting in my garage. All good stuff apart from the block and cracked timing cover. Or find a good block and make a good motor cheap.

 

Sounds like a great project. I've seen pictures of your Baja and it's very impressive already. My wife drives an 06 LL Bean edition and there is WAY more power from that H6. Her H6 with an automatic is night and day to my 2.5 and manual and in general I know the manual trans feels less sluggish than an auto.

Great, I may well need some of those parts, I'll bookmark this thread!
