Engine Swap ...

[Dimman]

I think the main swap advantage here is that the transmission/motor are more rearward than the old AWD layouts. So in this case you probably won't have the whole inline 4 hanging out in front of the front axle. Which would be scary.

A V6 is narrower than an H4, not as long as an Inline 4, and possibly shorter than the L4 too, depending on intake manifold design... 2GRFSE?

It would seem since the chassis is designed around a relatively flat engine (in comparison to inline), it might pose more of an issue.

My dad drove nothing fords and Subarus for a long time before he went to just driving Audi s .. in other countries strange swaps are done all the time.. So I did he talk about putting a rotory engine and trans in a subaru once just cause they had a ship load of extra parts laying around.

if that is going they layout of the chaise a lot can be down with it.. Rotory would look nice in there..

Hope you're not talking bout swapping EZ/EG engine. Cuz that's not an extreme swap.
