I had Twin Turbo Legacies. The turbos fit because there was more space at the back of the engine, being only a flat four. The SVX with two other cylinders does not give the same room for plumbing.
BTW, explain more fully about your gearbox plan. All Subaru engines, and gearboxes to match, are North South arrangements.
I don't understand how you intend turning the SVX flat six sideways, what gearbox will work that way for you and match the rear of the EG33?

First off, Thank you..
I plan on mounting the engine and gear box in the honda, the same way it mounts in the subaru.
Being as all major components, ie: motor, diff, lower suspension components mount at both front and rear sub-frames. It's as simple as modifying the body to accept the cross members and put them at the correct position. Relocation of the gas tank, and removal of the wheel well are the major modifications.. The real math, and specifics come when it's time to fabricate mount point for the upper suspension parts.
I do not forsee a problem with drive shaft clearance in the "tunnel". But I really wont know if that will need modified until the actual fitment process.
Even the subaru steering rack will be utilized, I just have to modify the shaft to work with the rack.
Hope that answers your question
