I have built a couple of good for USA anyway Subaru rally motors (one won PNW Regional crown with Dave Hintz driving) and there is very little space to change anything, no room for a taller block, longer rods, berrter crank with more meat between the journals, no room for better intake port positioning, or better approach to the ports with the manifold. They are hemmed in by the bizarre neither fish nor foul motor.
And that's JUST the motor.
The designers miss the mark in so many areas of the rally version EVIDENTLY, and poor Sohlberg is now not on top of a mountain in the sun, but deep in a valley of depression.
Looks grim for them.
