Thinking about driving out west, possibly up to Alaska, you never know where
the road is going to take you, and I would feel a bit better with a Subaru
engine humming underneath than a waterboxxer. Plus it would be nice to go
the speed limit up mountains.

Then why the heck are you considering an engine conversion?

I am considering a Subaru conversion, as I have found a good donor car.
I
was wondering what a perfect 2.1 waterboxxer engine with about 60K miles
is
worth? And if there is much of a market for it. Burns no oil, leaks no
oil,
leaks no coolant, strong and reliable. As a matter of fact I just got
back
from a 1500 mile trip through the Smokey mountains and it performed
flawlessly.
