I know one of the main hangups if I were to ever do a serious build on my car would be the lack of local support. Any shop that Id trust to do a motor or tranny build is out of the state. So aside from the added shipping costs, Id be up the creek without a paddle if something were to go wrong. And our only local tuner does it on his free time, and thus can't be expected to solve problems immediately (though I know he does his best).

But if a local shop that already has a good reputation put a knowledgeable Subaru guy under their roof....maybe someone who could build and tune engines, and *crosses fingers* rebuild transmissions, Id be much more apt to throw serious money at my car.

May I ask what services you would be offering if this were to happen?
