legacy question
My dad owns a 92 legacy non-turbo and hes thinking about getting a new car...so i wanted to take it on as a project car, my question is what kind of engine could i drop into it to make it quick..i don't know much about subaru's so i was hoping you guys could help me out. Besides the engine swap i wanted to swap a manual tranny into it, so how much would all this cost and how quick could i make it. thanks every one, jake.

how much do you have to spend ?.. thats the real question..
you could find a legacy turbo engine.. and get the 5 speed from say a 2.5 RS and put it in there..
but for the price you'd pay you could buy a 92 Turbo Auto..
sell the car and get the Turbo if thats what you want..

sure.. and of the EJ25 series prett ymuch.. the WRX engine.. the STi engine.. but all are expensive.
the EJ22 (Legacy Turbo) engine is one of the strongest Subaru has ever built and would be my personal choice for any impreza/legacy project..
its more money to put that engine in than to buy a legacy turbo.. legacy turbo can be had for under $2500.

Formula for speed = EJ22 block, 2.5l open-deck heads (COBB's stage 3 are magnificent), STOCK internals, T25 or T3/T4 tubro, STi trans, axles, driveshaft, and diff.
All being equal, a Legacy turbo is an out-of-the box quickie and has a superb motor in it allready.
