To recap:  I purchased a Syncro with a bad engine for the purpose of
converting
           to another engine.

I just received my Subaru 2.2.  It is truly a thing of beauty.
Hope it works and that all the required parts are there.  Never in my
life have
I seen such an excellent packing job!  There was no possible way of
damaging
this engine in transit.  Well worth the packing charge.

So far my experience with the outfit that I purchased the engine from
has been very favourable.
A little pricey, but they did what they said for when they said. They
ship everywhere and
they have a large inventory.  http://www.fsautoparts.com  They are in
Conneticut somewhere.

I'm still awaiting the adaption kit which is supposed to ship on
Monday.  Kennedy has a 2-3 week
turnaround on these kits.  I asked them if it was a big seller.  They
said "not really, only about
100 in the last two years".  Their big business is
any-engine-to-any-tranny adapters.

So, now all I have to do is paint the whole house <argh>, and then I'm
free to play with my new toys:-}
