It does, but the block shape mandates how it bolts up. The nose cone of the starter protrudes into the block itself. Guys, pop your hood and look. This motor will never bolt up to your trans. Besides, the turbo kits really work amazingly.
I owned a Subaru shop for ten years. This new motor is the THE BEST motor Subaru has ever made. I have a GTX28 on my car and it spools way faster then the same turbo even on the 2.5 STi engines. The direct injection is fantastic. I'm at 300 whp on only 8 lbs of boost with no end in sight for injectors running out of headroom.
No swap needed, just bolt on some boost.
