I found a wrecking yard that sells Subaru Legacy 4/6 engines for $450.00
------- your choice out of the car. Want the wire loom, same price you
pull the engine.
They make similar deals on Saab Engines + Extra for the tranny but
overall 165 hp.
Frank has posted several in depth engine options selections over the past
year and you'll find them in the archives.
If I had a Waser boxer (thank god I don't) I'd give up 4" of rear deck
height and go for BIG CUBES.
