Another V8 Swap - Page 15 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I think the angles in the photos might be deceptive. Not sure it's possible to move the engine any further back than it is in my car without the heads and intake manifold hitting the heater core hoses and clutch master/ac lines...

God all this really makes me want to say screw it in boosting my FRS and just keep saving for an LS swap...

On a side note which oil pan works with which swap kit? Front Sump or Rear Sump?

Front Sump

You can tilt it forward until it hits the back of the headlights, its like 1.75" forward.

Those weapon grade headers look amazing.

They have two header versions available. The above 1 7/8th is for OEM steering and sways.

And these are for a drift subframe setup.

Hey now, those look pretty good!

I wasn't aware they made a "drift subframe"

The drift set of headers look like plug changes would be a bit easier to access than the top version no?

OEM plug boots still fit and clear with the standard headers.

The drift subframe is designed for those wanting to switch to a traditional steering rack (not for steeet cars)

They also have the merge pipe that hooks directly to an aftermarket exhaust. My only problem is if the Vorshlag Mounts will move the engine/trans enough to cause issues.

We should find people with each mounting solution and get some measurements. OR get the weapons grade kit.

Does Vorschlag's swap retain heat and AC? This IMO is the clearance challenge and why the WGP engine sits where it sits (to clear heater core fittings from back of intake manifold)

Yes it does.

Does the weapons grade kit not retain heat and ac?
