got a line on an extra 3.3 H6 and ECU has anyone shoehorned one into a second gen legacy? just eyeballin it, it looks like it would need massive fabrication, maybe cutting inner fender wells, moving radiator, etc.
but man, that would be a sweet ride... :smt026

It should fit just fine - you may need a slimmer radiator, but otherwise it'll drop in. The BD has a slightly bigger engine bay than the Impreza, but not by much.

weren't eg33/svx's OBD1 while second gen legacies OBD2 if so that would create some problems with passing inspection of course depending on your state laws.
Unless it's a 96-97 SVX...

^ will do, i'll be starting the build thread soon.
also, the only fabrication required is for installing the radiator, either need to trim some stuff, or by a custom radiator, other than that it bolts up fine. my friend ( www.numbchuxconversions.com (http://www.numbchuxconversions.com) ) will be doing the wiring for me.
