So I order a radiator and a intake manifold. They should be here by the end of the week then I can real start to mount the motor. I does look like it is going to sit a little high so I'm going do something about the hood???

No I dont think it will work. The front axles come out of the trany so that would put the wheels almost in the doors

that would be interesting but i can understand if you dont use them. are all the suburu set up that way. the saab 900t motors the oil pan is the tranny. does saab make an all wheel drive car? that would be a good winter project for me.

Well since things took aturn for the worst for me and having to end my project truck, just been following everyone else projects and wanted to know how the ej20 luv was going, were you at now with it, I still think you should stretch it and narrow the front axles and make that bad boy all wheel drive :ebiggrin

Hey was cruzing craigslist near my area and found a twin turbo ej20 for 800 bucks 8O.........ya I thought about it, but I think I will stick to the ecotec for now. :lol:

Well I dont have the money, and I told myself that if I did do a subaru engine I would have to mhake it allwheel drive, besides codym is all ready doing this swap and I like the fact that he's the only one I know doing this swap. My subaru buddys down over here and I are watching with great anticipation. Plus I have already started with a swap so I want to finish that.

So codym, let use know and with pics aswell with what's going on, even if its just to say hi! :lol:

So I haven't got much done on the truck. I got the truck to my house and hope to work on it this winter. This summer has been crazy with house stuff, paint, building a fence, yard work. I haven't had a free weekend all summer. I did pick up a parts truck that turns out is a good runner. Its a 78 with 76k on it. Passed deq with flying colors. November looks pretty open so I should something started then.
