Potential project opinions needed!!!

all the subaru transmissions are interchangeable for the most part. the engine mounts are ALL the same as well (even on the H6) so in essence the adapter plate and motor mount adapter will work on basically every chassis.

my partner in this is looking at a sedan type of the coupe. or a bugeye, since hes helping a lot with the project, so it might end up being a 4 door.

as for the donations, i dont mean financially, i mean random parts that you may come across that i may need in this, because im sure there are going to be those few odds and ends i need, even help tracking some stuff down. ive done stupid little projects before, and stuff like that can really slow a build down.

Im thinking of calling the car a Subaru 1.3RS WRX-7 its a nice mix of the different options here. lol. It has the chassis, the engine and the sub-model. Awesome job with the WRX-7.

but enough with the small talk i guess, i need to start diving into the more technical side of this build.

does anyone know an approximate length of a rotary from clutch to front of the crank pulley on a TII engine? anyone know the same for the 2.5 engine?

i just bought a couple new toys to start this project.

now im just waiting for it to warm up a little bit, its way too cold outside to start wrenching on that FC to pull the parts.

but here are the toys, and enjoy.

Snap-On Digital torque wrench
5-100 Ft.lbs
60-1200 In.lbs
6.8-138.6 Nm

Blue-Point Air Ratchet
5-60 Ft.lbs
65 Ft.lb MAX torque talk about a finger breaker.

and then snap-ons mini die grinder.

also my 11 month old son trying to carry some of these tools. Hes taking after daddy already.
