Very interesting Daryl, this make a nice DIY kit at 5K$. Even if a mechanic would do it, at 20-25hr it still well under 7k$. I think Bostig went in the right direction with their DIY kit. I guess it's about the same total $$$ as a Subi 2.2L (maybe a little bit more), but you get a newer engine and no harness to deal with. I wish them both good luck. |
