Curt,
Kennedy is the man to talk to. He has a complete CA smogged kit (less
engine) to do a Legacy waterboxer swap. Many of the pieces would work
for the SVX 6 pot. Might want to beef the trans a little first, you're
looking at 230HP and 228Ft/lb. They are pretty hard to come by, though.

Have fun!!
