Re: [T3] Subaru Conversions...?!

Well, there are conversion bellhousing plates available for the earlier
1600 and 1800 engines too; but it's the two liter and up that are the
more attractive option, these days.

"... it's remarkably similar to the Type  1 flat-four in terms of shape
and volume. This makes it too tall for the  T3 compartment without a
radical redesign of the intake system."

Um, except there's no big fan housing on top!  It's a pretty low profile
engine, and I wouldn't rule out its fitting in the type3 engine
compartment without doing some mearsuring first.  It fits nicely in the
Vanagon, and there's not much headroom in their either.
