logically you could easily buy an fbody for cheaper then the conversion, or a used C5 for around 10k.

would be a fun swap though.

Logic + cars = ??? That does not compute!

You are correct in that an Fbody would be cheaper, but then everyone would expect a fast Fbody or Corvette. But a standard Impreza...

I've looked through your thread many times and learned a lot. I'm not afraid of fab work.

Another question - Has anyone seen a V8 swap into a subaru using an auto trans?
