I still like the the idea of putting it the XT6.
But (correct me if I'm wrong) the motor won't bolt up to the XT6 tranny? You would have to change the crossmember on either car to clear the turbo up-pipe, but easier to find one out of a turbo XT/Loyal than one from a WRX.

I'm just not sure about the XT6 layout, as I have never got to inspect one personally, but It looks like the 2.7 is based on the 1.8 using the same bellhousing style. I know the XT6 uses a 2bolt front strut unlike the XT but isn't an XT6 basically an XT with a 2.7 init?
