The Subaru engine has the benefit of better low-end torque so you could get away with taller gearing with less of a penalty. But then there's the weight, which isn't bad for an engine with two heads (I can lift a long block with the intake manifold still attached and I'm not a big dude), but must be more than a 1.6 Honda. I wouldn't bother going dry sump for minimal gain unless you're really loaded. I looked into kits for various plans and they were more than the whole drivetrains I was looking at.
