The progect started with the plan to rebuild the 1.8 and just get it running. Then with the long list of parts and prices I decided to go a little bigger with a subaru svx 3.3.

The motor and tranny fit really well considering going from a 1.8 to a 3.3. The tranny mounts worked without any modification and with plenty of room to spare at the front of the motor.

Had to make some room in the trunk to clear the throttle bodies and brackets. I plan on boxing it all in to house the harness and air intake.

Everything is still in the early stages so I could use any and all help.

Keep posting guys. I'm wanting to do the same conversion. I own a 76 914 (back dating bumpers) and 95 3.3 svx engine with wiring harness. Your pics and info is helpful. I was hoping not to have to cut into the trunk, However after looking at your pics that may not be possible. I am in the early planning stage and trying to collect some parts to up grade the car so it can handle the extra HP. That and finish my garage/out building. I got the underground power cable dug in this weekend, I still need to wire and insulate.But these subie post are a great motivator.
Thanks,
Rick
