Mr. Pockets,
The OBS would be the easiest swap, as it came out of an Impreza platform......but the XT would no doubt be a blast to play with.
I've got pro's and con's both ways.
Joe,
I figured on a building a front strut tower brace for which ever one I end up putting it into, the XT has Coilover shocks in the rear instead of struts, so I don't know how I could reinforce the rear on it, but I'm sure it can be done, just a matter of checking it out.
Financially it would probably smarter to put it in the OBS, as I could recoup some $ from the sell of the 2.2L in it, where as the XT6’s 2.7 has 134k on it, and harder to find a buyer for it as it’s pretty rare.
But I wouldn’t hesitate to cut and weld on the XT, but hate to chop up the OBS.
I could argue it both ways, but am leaning toward the XT6 presently.
