SVX engine on trademe with reversed manifold

[BoxerFanatic]

That isn't bad... and I have seen those... but I want something a bit bigger than a 356 or 550 Porsche.

The 5-speed manual shift Subie FWD (amidships->RWD) transaxle would probably work for a stock-hp EG33... but no way would it stand up to a twin-turbo EG... The STI's 6MT might even have a little complaint with north of 400 horsepower.

I was thinking something closer to the Gardner-Douglas T70 Lola replica, maybe even with a roof, or a custom body that mixes elements of the 288 GTO and 430 Ferraris, with a bit of NSX, a bit of SVX/ItalDesign-like details, a hint of McLaren F1... Something more a mix of italian and british than a replica porsche, although I like Porsches very much.

I would probably stick to an NA or turbocharged EJ flat 4 for compactness and low weight in a replica Porsche, rather than the EG33...

Actually I never cared for the look of any of the Porsches except maybe the 928. I was just linking a site that works with the Subaru engines in kit cars. I would love to see it in one of the more exotic styles. It seems this linked company will build about any replicar you want---if you are willing to pay.
