What are you concerned about specifically?

The spark plugs might be difficult to get to. Mine are not to bad on my Impreza but the DOHC motors have plugs in a tough spot to access, however this isn't a turbo motor so less stuff is in the way.

My concerns about where the motor is now, moved back to right above the subframe, is access to the oil pan and headers. Normally they are VERY easy to access on Subarus but if the bolt locations are all right over the subframe, the engine might need to be raised to get to them
