The rad to firewall is not long enough INHO. You would need to stretch the car 7 inches and this would throw the balance off.

This idea is akin to either putting racing slicks on a new rolls Royce Corniche IV or taking a beat up dodge dart and putting a lawn mower engine in it.

Of course, great ideas start with abstract thoughts. If that car was anemic to begin with, yes, putting some HP under the hood would be desireable.

Howabout taking the WRX and building the stock power plant to 600HP? This would be far easier and far less expensive. Someone could do it..and will in due time.

I would not want to drive it. too high off the ground to begin with.

Just watch what people will do to it...

Believe it or not, a Chevy V8 Would fit, but the tranny would not.
