Dam your L sure beats the heck out of my RS at least as far as engine power goes. Nice job, I too plan to motor swap... already have the suspension and brakes where I want them just need more power now. Post up some dyno or 1/4 runs after the 257 block and other mods are complete.
Subaru didn't make nearly enough red/gold combo cars. Nice choice on the wheels, the whole thing looks AWESOME. That car is definitely high up on my list of best L's ever.

thanks for the great words
right now i am trying to get funds for some head work.. cause after thinking about it, i realized that i should do it now before it cost me double later 
v7 heads or have my current heads ported and/or get some cams.
anyone got any info on how the the ej20 heads/cams will run with increased displacement?
oh gosh after this im gonna start to worry about my tranny/
