Eric-

It's funny you should bring that up. It really is shame how much you
need to RIP into the car to get the needed harness and other parts
out. In most cases I think people buy running Subaru's pull the motor
and junk the rest.

What's that saying about breaking a few eggs. . .

Joe,
    I'm going out to my Syncro with the inline 4 cly. and heading out on
the highway.  I will run 10 red lights in your name just for saying such a
terrible thing.  If by chance I see a Subaru I will also try to run it
down just to get his name so you can tell him what you might do with the
engine in his car.
