STI engine installation anyone?

I currently have my EJ20T mounted in the car. I have the radiator mounted in my Ghia, I also have the water lines run front to back.
I have left to run the rubber lines for the radiator, finish running the fuel lines, mount the computer and wire the engine, tidy up the engine, remount the intake(reversed), weld my reversed water manifold... the list goes on. Those are Just to get the engine running with coolant.
Since I'm doing a complete restoration of this Ghia, I'm far from having everything else lined up but that's another long list.

I'm at about the same point as Mikey. EJ20 turbo on a bus tranny, just got the first of my water lines in this weekend, followed by the first bit of wiring and the radiator. You know what they say, misery loves company

My WRX RA engine is thrown in to the cab but project on hold for a few months, hope to get back on to it after the new year.

i've been putting a Subie motor in my Vanagon in my head for quite some time. just haven't found the b@lls to pull the trigger (lack of time and other things i still need to finish on the bug). maybe the engine fairy will surpise me one day.

let's see some pics SuperRSi.

SuperRSI,

What is your plan for the radiator? I'm working on a Manx clone (berrien body) with a EJ22T out back. It sounds like we are working on similar projects, mine will have 17" 993 wheels, 993 front brakes, 944T rears with alum. arms, etc.

I have a berrien tube frame sitting in the garage, waiting on the body to take mesurments for the radiator.

I had the motor and 091 tranny in a '73 Super for a couple of years, I can't wait to see how it feels in a much lighter car!

I would love to see some pics of your project.

hey all, I can chime in too...I'm running a 1.8L NA scooby motor in the back of a Porsche 912.

I live up the street from zen, and have been a little inspiration for him...LOL!!!

I run my rad in back, and run a 964 decklid to help scoop air into the rear.
