subaru conversion kit?? Options

[mike373]

Anybody think a full conversion kit will be available in the near future, that will have everything you need to do a suby engine conversion. Meaning clutch, adapter, radiator, pre-fabricated engine mount. Basically everthing needed to bang it out. Im starting to fantisize about the suby 2.5 liter engine in my 914....

I plan on making a Suby kit. I am fairly serious about this - so far I have about $10K in tools and shop stuff to do work like this. I am picking up my engine, transmission and a CNC mill on Friday.

What I plan on making is "minimum parts" type of kit to mount a Suby engine AND transmission along with the mid mounted radiator that Scott T (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) pioneered (if I make any money at this some of it will be shared with Scott.) The main design goal is to minimize any cutting (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) or drilling on the car. I hope to be able to supply the mounts, the transmission AWD to FWD parts and the shift linkage along with part numbers for hoses, belts, radiator etc and instructions on how to do the swap.

Unfortunatly for the project (not for me) I have a new baby (our first) on the way, I hope I can get started this winter but I won't be suprised if being a new dad slows me down - alot. The good thing is my day job is really slow so I can dedicate more time to important things like engine swaps and kids.

The price will be very reasonable as I won't be reselling anything that I don't make or have made specifically for this project. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)
