so been driving and loving the cluster EFF of the mazda/suabru thing I built. But I say I need more. More you say, sure why not more. 50% more!!!


So why not an SVX motor. Sure, sounds good to me. smiling smiley




Figured out the exhaust, pan, and steering shaft. I just sorted out, at least on paper, the wiring. I'm getting a full car to start with and get all the wiring for it.

Should be fun! grinning smiley

Also proof positive that most anything will fit in the engine bay of a RX-7. grinning smiley

That's actually a good question for Anders as he shoved the H6 inside of an old GC/GF-chassis Subaru with essentially zero room between the frame rails. My guess?

Jackstand under engine /trans. Loosen all engine/trans mount bolts. JACK CAR UP!

Yeah this is all about cheap power so a couple of 48 IDAs or IDA style ITBs that'll be nice and cheap only $3000-4000..

in all honesty the motor would probably have to come up a few inches to do it. but i'll make sure some new ones go in before I put it in for the last time.

It's a Subaru. To do anything, you first remove the engine.

FHI have fortunately seen fit to make this a trivial task.
