I'm in the middle of converting a SB350 to a Subaru 2.0t.
The 350 is heavy, and really changes the feel of the car. Weight is very wonky. Just doesn't feel the same. There's also the "4-speed" thing to consider, changed the feel of the car again. I shredded one pinion gear. Can't see ever feeling like I could "lay down rubber" without consequences. For the same money, put a Subaru in there or at least buy a ready car. I'd have sold mine a few days after I bought it if I had a buyer. |
