I've puchased an '87 Syncro without an engine a months ago
and had been agonizing over which engine to put in it.

At the Litchfield, CT show I saw a Subaru conversion and
really, really liked it.

Since then, I've ordered a Subaru engine and all the required engine
parts from an outfit in CT.  I should be getting it near the
end of the month.  The engine is practically new at 33,000 miles.

I plan on ordering the Kennedy conversion package soon, as they
have approximately a 4 week turn-around.

I expect the complete adaption will cost me approx 3500$US.
3000 for engine and adaption kit, 500 for surprises.

I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

Just wanted to let people know that I'm starting.

Wish me luck!
