Reply to "Beck Spyder Engine Removal"

Idle curiosity, but I am curious.

The Subie EJ22 fits where a Type 1 fits... but not exactly, as I learned when installing one in the back of a space-limited TD Replica. Sure, the overall width was OK—very close to the VW engine— But the Suby is the same width throughout its length, owing to the overhead cams.

That meant I had to move the engine forward an inch or so, or start doing some fairly complicated body work.

The Suby reportedly doesn't quite fit the same as a T1 when flipped around in a Spyder....

I'd never considered how different or bigger a Type IV was. Thought it was "the same."

But nothing in this world is "the same" as any other thing that's different.
