Hey guys,
What suby engines are a good match for ghias? I have seen a lot of old posts with peeps using the 2.2 and 2.5 engines from the 90's with some success, but are any of the new options better in terms of fit and performance? I would think the additional room under the back hood may allow for more options than the brethren bug folks.
Could a ghia take a suby DOHC cam with out to much "cutting" or is still better to stick with the SOHC cam options? |

I think you would get much more help asking this question in the performance engine forum. Do a quick search there, prior to asking your question.
Good luck..

There has not been a lot swap threads done on Ghia's, so the info you are looking for is going to be slim on this forum. That is why you where directed to search the other forums, Where people with subaru knowledge generally post.You can try here as well.

If you are doing a conversion ,I highly encourage you to a build thread to help others down the line. |
