Lowball offer...pull the engine...scrap the rest...

That would be the safe/smart play. I'd get sucked into trying to restore it to it's former glory.

Is it any wonder that those who are strongly sentimental are rarely wealthy and vice-versa?

Feel your pain. I'd fix it up too. Hate to break a perfectly good car. Hate even more those who do with no regard. That's what accident victims are for. Or rust buckets.

It would be easy to make money on that.

Honestly not a terrible price... fix some rust and take it to a paintless dent guy and you'd be golden.

Easy Money there. Just be aware, you're looking at 250 in parts alone for the timing belt/water pump that is VERY likely due. You don't want to price a rebuild on that engine.

Even if it goes, though, it's non-interference. Not that I'd really want to push it.

If you do tbelt/water pump, you may as well do all the front oil seals, which all go bad eventually. I just bought all the parts to do mine and it's a hair over $300. Not the cheapest car in the world to work on, and there aren't really any aftermarket replacement parts. Gotta buy from Subaru.

In reply to gearheadE30:

Yeah I'm doing the same with mine right now. AFTER buying a 500$ 98K motor. Need to invest in a welder or find an aftermarket oil pan. High gee oil starvation is a real issue. BUT I GUESS that will teach me to hit a corner @ twice the posted speed limit.

I'd like to take the motor from one and stick it in my rallyx e30, then watch the scooby guys' heads explode. On a more serious note, one of the fastest guys runs an impreza wagon w/ one swapped in. It sounds SO gooooood.

I also want to take a 3.3 and stick it into a GC Impreza. Chassis bracing would no longer be optional with that setup, though.

THIS! The night I brought it home I said the same thing. The SVX is a pig weight wise. A stripped out "lightweight" impreza would REALLY highlight this motor. Though with the newer H6 motors, the packaging is easier.
