got my engine for my brumby conversion its a ej20 sohc out of a gc8 rx impreza it only cost me $400 :p but has been sitting in a paddock for the last couple years got it from a friend whos a suby mechanic just down the road and he said it should run just needs new oil and filter, water pump etc

now just a question is there any reason why people just dont make a custom air intake apposed to moving the battery over the other side ???
it just seems a bit easier to make a custom intake and would like nicer
