ITT: I post seemingly random pictures.

Gets you a sealed diff and reverse all in one compact package.

This is $2500 and mounts the engine sideways. It'll starve the engine of oil unless you fit a dry sump system. For a dry sump system, add about $1000.
Reverse is definitely nice to have though.

Also, it's a little more than $800, but Quaife has a couple of diffs that might be of interest to you. They are both externally sealed and intended for mounting on pillow blocks for chain-drive applications, having a provision for a split sprocket where the ring gear would normally be. One of them even has reverse.
£550, no reverse: http://www.quaife.co.uk/catalogue/products/qdf7zr

Thanks. It's a good engine, 8.6:1 CR, rated for 210HP stock, and that's at relatively low boost. Torquey as hell, too. Even pushing around that 3,000 lb hunk of tin, it's got decent acceleration.
Electronically, this is turning out to be rather interesting. More wiring and relays in this thing than a nuclear reactor.
I've been probing it, scoping it, and pullings bits off of it for two days now. First weirdness, drive-by-wire throttle. It's also got two fuel level sensors (both of which go to the ECU) a fuel temperature sensor, wideband EGO2, whole lotta ****. Right now, I'm stripping down the harness in situ to see how far down I can take it before it stops running. I've removed the security module, the integration module, the keyless entry module, the airbag module, yadda yadda. I haven't even found the ABS controller yet. There's even a PWM fuel pump controller (external, of course) that I'm going to have to see if I can work around.
I'd say Frak It and throw a Megasquirt at this engine if it weren't for the twin variable intake cams...
It's a build thread. At the beginning of a build thread, it is common for one to show off all the shiny bits-n-pieces that they will be using, even if none of them are actually shiny (and some of them are downright totaled.)
That is a damn ugly car.
Hmmm. I do like Ghias, but a mid-engined Ghia? I can't see it.
A Hayabusa-powered Forester? C'mon, that'd just be silly.
Oh, does anybody want that air intake scoop off the hood before I toss the whole thing in the dumpster?

I've got a lot of other projects going on, but I still want to incorporate an exit scoop.
