Ej swap into my 68
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
