It mounts to the two tow loops that hang down from the rear bumper and a
flat bar extends forward from the center of the hitch to mount with the two
middle motor mounts on the engine carrier (comes w/longer replacement
screws).  Mine went on flawlessly, but then again, I had just replaced motor
mounts, so the hardware down there was already new and/or cleaned up.

Not sure on the Subie conversion if the engine mounting is different - not
well-versed in that area, but I know plenty others here are!
