I mean, if you can hit 700HP on them without too much trouble, why bother with a swap?

Do what you'd like, of course, but it wouldn't be high up on my list of engines to drop into an FR-S/BRZ.


We've already established that it's close enough in weight to the FA20 that it's a non-issue, it'll make 300 bhp with an off the shelf tune, and aside from that, it's dead-stock reliable. It won't break the rest of my driveline, and minivan motors aren't exactly high priced at the local boneyard. Meets all my criteria as a candidate.
