Can a Subaru engine fit in a VW Beetle?
Yes, Subie engines slot rather nicely into classic air-cooled Beetles, and even BETTER into Waterboxers (because all the plumbing and front radiator stuff is already in place). Kennedy Engineered Products, Inc will happily sell you a #6500 adapter which will bolt up a Subaru EJ engine for about $500 or so.
Can you swap Subaru engines?
To do this swap the steps are as as “simple” as, pull the engine from the chassis, swap the cross member, put the new engine in, hook up power steering, AC, exhaust, and radiator. Assuming the wiring harness is sent to us, it would just plug back into the chassis and the new engine and the car is done.
How long does it take to swap a Subaru engine?
Labor-wise you can usually do an engine removal and replacement in less than 10 hours. If you actually do work to the engine while it is out, that would be more. If you’re just popping it out to throw it away and plug in another, there you go.
