I don't know if I"ll actually go back to trying this, after what I'd found out the last time about doing such a swap...

But I did get another Subaru the other day, in like Pristine condition for $300 [it needs head gaskets] and am, of course, looking into this again...

This time it's a Forrester body, and I know for a fact I'll need the 50* Vanagon install kit at the very least [or a 6'' body lift on the Subaru]
