Ej swap into my 68

Post by Stubsy04 »

Doing the subie swap into my 68. Been doing some reading and it seems the sohc head is the way to go if not wanting to cut up too much. I have a cheap turbod forester I can pick up with the ej25 and also a NA ej20. Can I swap the ej20 head on the 25 easily? And will all be ok if I go down the turbo road in the future with bolting things on? Thanks

Yup, the SOHC is simple and easy, that’s what I was going to do with mine.

For the radiators, I have a design that tucks the rads under the front fenders, so there is zero cutting of the tub. If you want a pair of rads made, shoot me a PM. I can modify an eBay radiator to fit there.

What would work the absolute best is making a fiberglass duct behind the rads to duct the exhaust heat down and in front of the tire into a low pressure area. This creates a big pressure differential across the rads and drives a lot of flow
