>> dilemma is when will that time come? Two years, three, five? Or a month
from now?! If it's the former, then I'd just as soon sell the Subie stuff
and decide what to do when the time comes, I'd rather not have the stuff
sitting around taking up space in my garage. Then again, my luck I sell the
Subie stuff and 2 weeks later the 2.1 sends a rod thru the block <<

You are correct. According to Murphy's law your current engine will last
just 2 weeks after you sell the transplant. If you keep the Subie tucked
away in a corner the WBX will last for years. Of course Murphy's law will
kick in and the neglected Subie engine will be all rusted and worthless. :)
