Irony, of ironies being that the two are related by more than the engine architecture. The fact that they were both financial failures for Subaru binds them.
If you decide to go ahead with your plan, i wish you smooth sailing. Take LOTS of pictures!
As for how to mount it? Could you use a front subframe from another SVX? My guess is the car would require "backhalving". IE a tube frame to support the rear half of the car, and powertrain. On the plus side, you could move the rear hubs inward to gain clearance for the larger tires that will be required for traction.
