[Vwdiesel] VW to Subaru

[Terry Briggs]

Having driven lots of Subarus, and having a '98 outback, I think the 
biggest issue is hood clearance, one of the reasons subie used the 
boxer engine was they were able to maintain a low hood profile.  The 
inline 4 is substancially higher than a boxer engine {flat 4} and 
wouldn't fit inside due to hood clearance.  That being said .... you 
can stuff just about any engine in any car if your willing to go 
through the process of fitting.
