Default Engine conversion.

Hi folks, new to the forum and subaru's for that matter.

I'm looking to get a classic shape subaru but am going to need to wait for a while untill I have the money but I had a thought earlier.. I could buy an n/a and then use that till either I have enough to buy a turbo one or I could build up a decent spec engine to put in it later on.

What I was wondering was...

How hard is it to do the conversion?
Are the gearbox's etc the same?
How much should I expect to pay for an engine?
Basically how is the conversion done?

Thanks

Ben

buy your cheap sport or whatever.
Then go out and buy a written off turbo.
Swap EVERYTHING

Job done.

Have a look in the projects forum, there was a computer programmer who decided to do this not so long ago.
