> Ballparkish, rough idea of cost, installed?

most shops that specialize in it ask around $6000 plus the cost of the
engine (6000 at H and R, 6500 at smallcar for example)
there was a guy called dave that people discussed about on the subaruvanagon
list who does it for  3000 plus cost of engine,  with a traditional  kep
install (which is fine,  but  has been advanced in recent years)

DIY price estimates around 3000 total, if you buy a subaru donor car and
part it out and sell the wbx you might get it down to $2000.......maybe,
that is.

i have signed up to all conversion lists and listened to them for months and
i thing subaru is for me the way to go as its most economical.  diesel swaps
are very expensive,  tiico.....  well  .....listen to  the tiico list
yourself and decide if you want to have that engine.... , zetec from
www.bostigeng.com is sure good as well. you pay 7800 for the plug and play
kit. apparently you can install that in a day or two, hence maybe an option
for you as an alternative to a professional subaru install. if you do subaru
yourself, it seems to be 1-2 weeks, less if you get the harness made by
someone ($700 extra).

me personally, i will go for the DIY subaru swap.
