No, no engine yet. That one is going to be expensive, and I need more in the play money account for that. I will be doing other things to it to prepare for all that horsepower first.

I love this project, looks like a lot of fun to work on! I've always been partial to the smaller vehicles though. I'd love to someday get my hands on a Suzuki Jimny LJ80 4WD some day. (wishful thinking)

Now, a Jimney is small. The Samurai is small enough for me.

Just another one of my projects. Needs a motor and tranny. When the Mighty Mites are done, I will make a dedicated rock crawler out of it. Used to be my daily driver.

It is really the perfect motor for it. these were originally designed for a boxer motor. And now they have so much horsepower. I have an Outback with the EJ55 engine in it. Fastest factory car I have ever owned.

Actually I am trying to talk my son into running the EJ55 in his after we cryo treat all the gears and shafts - 265 hp

I am gearing up for the EJ57, the same as in the WRX sti. They will go 500 hp easy.
