Just idle thoughts more than anythign after going through some pictures of my old Legacy Turbo last night.

Would the engine and drivetrain from say, a blob-eye impreza fit in the '92 era Legacy?

For example, could the mechanicals from something like this be made to fit into something like this, or would it need to be from an earlier model? I only mentioned the later STI as i'm fairly sure the engine would stronger than the classics, plus you would have the advantage of a 6 speed box.

I'm more thinking if i could find various crashed Impreza STI's (shouldn't be that hard), is it possible to transplant those parts into the Legacy. I've always like the idea of a rusting old estate car with a genuine 400+bhp.

As i said, just idle thoughts, but how much you reckon it would cost, if it was possible?

Cheers

I see no reason why not for the engine, not sure about the gearbox.

I can find out for you.
If it's no trouble, be much obliged. Don't go to any hassle to find out though, as i said, it's just idle thoughts (at the moment tongue outaperbag)
