I recently purchased a 1970 914 that was converted to a 3.8 Buick in 1982 but only completed to 90% finished. I am almost finished but the engine has to come out due to timing cover gasket leaking. I am considering changing it all out to a Subaru 6cyl and 5speed Subaru transmission. What donor car should I seek to complete this project? Can I use the engine cradle from the 3.8 Buick? Will it be modifiable? Thanks.
