i was looking under the hood of the legacy today and started thinking.... what if i moved the motor and trans back about 1 1/2 inches, made a custom radiator to fit under the latch for the hood, put some super skinny fans on the radiator and you should have room for the svx motor..... it would be a tight fit, but it would fit.... anyone ever thought about this??? it would make for one fast legacy..... lots o fun

It has been done. It required some major modding of the front end to fit the radiator (because you need a bigger one for the EG33). It will bolt in...just fitting everything will be a big issue.

 

Add to that the steering would be a little weird with all that weight.

anything can be done.

 

one problem with the SVX motor is that it's heavier and SVXs are rare.

 

If you happen to have a SVX that you take the parts of out then go for it. If you not then you might want to consider getting a WRX motor, same power w/a smaller package.
