A friend of mine is converting a 914 to use a Subaru engine and I'm currently working on a way to convert an STI transmission to a transaxle (getting rid of the rear output).

I've always wanted to lengthen and widebody/tube chassis V8 one of these.

But then, I kind of want to do that to every car.

For a few weeks I even seriously thought about using the mid-section of a Geo Storm as the cockpit of a mid-engine car. Anyone who has built scratch cars knows that by far the hardest/least rewarding part is windows/doors/seals.

The Subaru Option is better than a SBC - it fits better & has a Lower Center of Gravity.
