it's still too tall. The WRX sits higher and the engine is higher than in the BRZ. This is in part due to the transmission (transaxle, remember... b/c AWD). So, yeah, the WRX FA20DIT block is too tall also.

It was already asked elsewhere (not sure if it was on ft86club or on iwsti), and that was the conclusion.

Remember, compared to other subies, the twins are ridiculously low to the ground in general, and the engines in particular.
