this is a base, it will be getting forged internals, being strocked, balanced, have head work done, ported and polished, ect. i know what im getting into as far as cost, and i am compying part for part a build that has been dynoed at 547 horse-so i dont think that im too far off in my goals
also i got a buildsheet from the company i got the motor from, and its out of a 2002-2004, not a 90something
i too build subarus allday long, i too have done my homework, and i have personally done this exact build before with close to the same results (495 hors at the crank) in a 95 impreza
i apreciate your enthusiasm, but please dont come onto this site and pick fights, i dont think that anyone will tolorate that
