I'm not gonna lie, I'm not sure what that is. 3.3 sounds pretty large though. My 3.4 is still bigger! :lol:

Looks like this should be fun. I've always wonder why I don't see more subi 3.3's going into buggies. What are you doing with the EJ22?

The ej22 is choptop bound. It should pull the front end on that little sawed off beauty. :wink:

That should make an awesome motor for the choptop. Are you still putting the bus auto in it?

The bus auto may be on hold. Dad already got the sedan tranny installed. We will upgrade later. You still got the side shifts? Hows the baja project coming along? 8)

I want one! How are you resolving the wiring issues that will be encounterd? How much more does it weigh than a VW? This should be in the Buggy build section.

I have just about talked myself into doing the harness. I did my j22,,,same year 1994,,,,OBD1. It appears very similar. It may throw some codes but as long as it runs I'm ok with it. If I can't get it to do right I may send it off. This thing is about double the weight of a VW.
