August 22, 200916 yr have both cars just curious who has done this and any info or pointers thanks alot
August 22, 200916 yr I've helped on 3 SVX swaps, 2 into GC imprezas and a third into a '95 legacy. radiator will need to be moved forward about 3 inches, and fans relocated to the front side. I know of one guy who moved the stock radiator forward, and made it work. most of the time, hood latch is lost and pins will be needed. Dao got a custom radiator from Griffin that was short and thick, and mounted it forward in the bumper like a FMIC, which left plenty of room for the engine AND stock latch. pretty cool: http://www.numbchuxconversions.com/daoimp.htm or another guy had one that replaced the upper radiator support: Wiring is a little goofy. but not too bad. worst part is the glue that they use to seal where the wiring harness through the firewall on the SVXs. it makes separating stuff an epic PITA!
August 22, 200916 yr Author hi chux ,i tried to pm you i was wondering if you have a write-up on wiring will buy it if its clear and detailed thanks alot
August 22, 200916 yr You might ask TomsSVX, he put an EG33 into a 99 SUS. He runs an SVX repair shop, I believe, and my have some good pointers for you. Or he may even have a whole diagram on how to do it, Idk, just ask him. Twich
August 22, 200916 yr no diagrams. I just use stock FSMs. it's not very easy to describe, and an in-depth write-up would take a lot of work, and would leave little guarantee that it would function in the end. not worth it, IMHO. tom is, or works for, (I'm not sure which) http://www.allwelldrive.net
