A Suby DOHC motor is not as tiny as your speaking of, They are quite wide even for the stock body of a STi. I`ve done quite of few sti conversions too stock wrx`s,. For myself to open the hood of a RX-8 and see a 2.5 dohc suby motor there. I`d be thinking there`s a hell of mechanic. And some crazy amount of dollars spent on doing something just to get it back on the road again. Unless you have a boat load of spare cash. Just put another stock style motor back in with some improvments within the motor it self. Cheaper than a crazy piston conversion. Even a LS1 is a thought I might would consider, If I had 15,000 spare dollars.
