Post by monkeymagic »

Hi just wanted to know which Subaru car I could "borrow" the engine from to replace in my westfalia 1.6 non turbo. i.e. a forester? I have a technician at work that is willing to do the work....

Bare in mind you wiull need to upgrade the box as it will be reving its nadgers off on the 1.6 box...

The RJE bellhousing is a fine bit of kit to fit the engine to the box.. and he does the engine mounts and manifolds etc too..

Lots of info in here, use the search function and read the "petrol engine" thread at the top of the forum..

As above
Have a look at www.RJES.com
All the info you will need about this job. The site is much more than a parts shop and well worth a look.
