My friend stopped by with his Subaru wagon today. I rudimentally measured
the engine bay and my spare 1.6 TD and it looks like it will fit. I will need
to install it in the 50° vanagon angle in order to fit under the hood, or else
make a cutout in the hood for the valve cover. :-) It is a longitudinal
setup. There is just barely enough room to fit the engine between the tranny and
the radiator/fan. The Subaru has a mechanical fan on the engine side. Would
it be acceptable/effective to put a slim electic fan on the front of the
radiator instead? Didn't some Volvos have that setup? It would give a lot easier
clearance. The car is in really good shape for $500. A dented fender and
dented bumper are about it. Cruise control and A/C are functional. The on/off
4WD from the driver's seat is nice. Should be a very fun project. Good excuse
to practice using that new mig welder I just got. :-)
