Powertrain
The Subaru engine as originally installed. The engine and transaxle are fitted slightly lower in Syncro's, to allow for the front prop shaft. This means a different engine mount crossmember is also tequired for a Syncro. The exhaust fitted is a temporary measure. It's not really suitable for a Syncro - it's far too low. No under run bars fitted yet.
