you can get a adaptor plate built for any engine/gearbox combo you can imagine, then just get the bseries running in the right direction, if it is a b-seriesDidnt realise subaru justy 4wd gear was suitable for a honda motor...
Adaptor plate or not it wouldn't physically run.. the subaru gear would run backwards or engine mounted backwards. It'd have to go from a clockwise rotation (looking down the engine from 1-4) to anticlockwise because of the way honda engines are and where there gearboxes are mounted. Cant just ask an engine to run in a direction you want eitheryou can get a adaptor plate built for any engine/gearbox combo you can imagine, then just get the bseries running in the right direction, if it is a b-series
Best I seen was a rover v8 running through a spitfire diff... complete detonation of the diff hahaAdaptor plate or not it wouldn't physically run.. the subaru gear would run backwards or engine mounted backwards.

Cant just ask an engine to run in a direction you want either
Even if it was possible... the adapter would cost more than the rest of the build and little 1litre running gear strapped to a 1.8vtec wouldn't last 5 minutes that's my few pence worth

In the meantime. A 27litre tank engined sd1

These cars are just a couple of what started me of in the old "anything is possible" car building

Wow you've got that all wrong. To physically get the subaru gearbox to run the way IT was designed then the ENGINE (in this case a b series) would have to run physically BACKWARDS. Which is damn impossible... or are you gonna tell me I'm wrong again?you can get b series engines to run the right way, they use them in rwd escorts through a ford gearbox, would be nice if you did reasearch first before blanket statements, happen to know the shear strength of the gears in that gearbox too?
that engine now isnt in that car its sat on a home made dyno
