Many of you may see me posting WTB threads looking for parts so I figured I would post up a little thread with what they are going in.

I am putting an LQ4/T56 combo into my 05 Subaru Legacy

I will first start off with a little background. I purchased the vehicle in 2009 from an Insurance company as it was totaled. The car was hit on the front right side and all of the suspension components there were damaged. The timing cover also cracked and the timing belt skipped. I rebuilt the car and got it running. I attached some pics of the rebuild and what it looks like now.

I ended up purchasing an 03 Express Van with an LQ4 and 150k miles on it. My plan is to take the motor, harness, ECU and whatever else I need out of it and then sell off the rest of what I can. I have already purchased the GTO Oil pan that I will need as well as a L76 Intake and L92 heads

Here are some pics of what we have completed over the last few days:

Cleaned up the block a bit

We notched the subframe further so the engine would move back toward the firewall and test a 3/4 in. shim in between the subframe and body to drop it lower
