Hello Andy, The Subaru turbo will fit nicely. In 1980, I bought a turbo from a burnt Mustang. It was a bit too large. It worked beautiful, though. (I have a Subaru turbocharger now that I plan to use someday.) I bolted an SU to it. Fuel injection was more rare then. Most turbos now are the blow through design. The older ones were mostly suck through. Yours is probable a blow through if it was on an injected motor. The suck through has a seal that blocks off gasoline fron getting to the bearings and the blow through does not have that seal. It would be nice if there was an injection manifold to be had. I have heard of them but I don't know how reliable the sourse was on that. My new car is going to be another Studebaker. I want to find a 1953 two door hardtop. I have had six Studebakers but no 53 hardtop. That is the most beautiful car ever made in the old USA. Now let me tell you about my little Caroline and this one last trip we took one time. It was mid-December and real cold that night and all of the streets were lit up with Christmas lights. When I looked in my mirrow, I saw some smoke and I knew that my motor was about to croak. This made my heart jump up in my mouth and I prayed that we'd get home before all of the oil ran out, I slowed it down to under twenty-five, I was doing every thing I could to keep the motor alive. It took a long long time to drive my lady home and then I added some oil and drove my Caroline on. I knew that wasn't the smart thing to do because most of her motor was still brand new. I knew my Caroline would have a rough way to go when her motor locked up and she wouldn't go any more. I had her towed home and put her under a cover. I've not even looked at her since, I mean , why even bother? I mean, she hadn't been moved in over a year now and how to get her rolling again, I just don't know how. Now don't you think that I'm being a procrastinator, I just can't find a motor for my fifty-three Studebaker. That is a true story. I wrote it in April, 1987. Have a good day.
