ok, this sounds crazy, but i have a 94 legacy 2.2 na, im looking for more ***** from it.. would a 3.3 from an svx fit in any way in the engine compartment? without major modifications? would the transmission bolt up? its an automatic, but i wanted to swap that out to. how hard would that tranny swap be? also, its only a fwd, i want to convert it to either awd or rwd, how hard would that be?

if not, how would a 2.5 compare to ther 2.2?

i havent been able to find any info on this, if someone could help it would be much appreciated, thanks.

 

it sounds like you're going to need some serious cash to pull that conversion off. first you have an engine that will require serious modification just to install, then converting your drivetrain is going to be a *****. i think you'd be better off finding an older 2.2 turbo engine and upgrading from there. a lot more cost effective, and you wouldn't have to resort to one-of-a-kind modifications. even an ej20t orej25t would bolt in. as far as the drivetrain is concerned, personally i would go out and find myself an awd vehicle to do these modifications to. just my opinion.

 

if you want a six, i'd go with one of the new 3-liter engines-

if you decide to pursue this route... good luck.

 

wrong, the bolt pattern on all newer gen 4-6 cyls are the same, so the 6 would bolt to your existing tranny almost without any problems,fitment wouldnt be an issue,i know that it is in an impreza, but legacies are larger, now makiing it somehow run without swapping the entire wiring harness would be the issue
