I was wondering if some of the transmision axes or something that power the front train in the AWD Subarus pass under the engine. If this is true, then they could place it lower, Isn't it?
Thank you

It can be... but there are few things that stopping it from dropping that low
1. Oil pan - Oil pan is right below it and it's pretty big, so if you drop it too much it will scrap it
2. Exhaust Header - Around the oil pan, is exhaust header, so again it's same situation w oil pan.
3. Front Suspension - This is only for AWD, but when you drop engine that low cv axe and other front suspension parts need to worry about... but for this car isn't AWD instead it'll be RWD, so it shouldn't be any problem on this.
so top of my head, those are the 2 main things that can get in the way... but it's still possible to have it in that low
