>so, warren... which 6 cyl. subie engine was transplanted and how much did it cost?<

well... dug the original message out of the trash, accessed the site and answered my own question... about $10-11K, eh? That's alot of beans in addition to those I've already invested in "Daddeo," but what a cool conversion. Have to admit I've been a WBX guy up til now, but that one's got me drooling. How sweet.

Regardless of what they say about the transmission never breaking though, I'm skeptical about the entire drive train holding up under the torque of that bad boy... seems like something's bound to give someday.

Wow, twice as many horses as my chip/rocker modified WBX... hard to imagine!
