Subaru Vortex Differences
Subaru Vortex Differences
Hi guys
I am about to buy a Series 1 Vortex and just want to know if I can put all my running gear eg: Engine, Gear Box, Diffs etc.. from my current 87.5 Serioes 2 to the new one as the Series 1 is Non Turbo, Auto and FWD.
All I know is that the body is the same and just want to know if the engine and all the bits will just be a straight swap.
If anyone can let me know as soon as possible it would be highly appericated.
Best Regards
Johnny T

Fitting ...
From what I've read / seen - All the drive train stuff should fit, but the old FWD series I may not have all the mount points for the 4WD rear end - Only one way to find out - try it & see ... ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

if its fwd it wont have the captive nuts or holes for the rear mustache bar mounts.
i have done fwd vortex to awd previously and just drilled the holes in the correct location underneath the car. its already marked where the holes need to go.
A slightly bigger hole is needed above (in the boot) to drop a bolt through/hold on to with socket when tightening.

Thanks for the advise Bennie,
I’m going to try this weekend to get my turbo engine from the Series 2 running and then start transferring everything over the weekends with my mechanic![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
and yes it was the Green body with the brown interior and that will be swapped over with my sprayed black interior. I will be taking photos of the build and posting them up, just didn’t get a chance this weekend to get any photos.
Kind Regards
