Most of these Subaru swaps are because the original engine is toast/missing/car was a shell anyway, so arguments around purity don’t hold.

Also, my kit is completely non-destructive. The custom radiators fit where the factory oil coolers would mount. There's about 5 holes (4 - 3/8 holes and 1- 1-1/4 hole) that need to be drilled to mount the brackets for the oil coolers and allow the ECU harness to fit through, so you can run this engine while your air-cooled engine is being rebuilt (for about 30k) if you like. Or you can store your engine and rail this one on the track without worrying about a huge bill if you toast it. There's tons of upside and not much downside.
