Yes the manual will fit, as far as I know just change the interior trim and change to a manual pedal box.
Steve @ Rising sun has played with super charging a bit, I think the general consensus was that EA81's don't take forced induction all that well, unless you can get one with "twin port" heads.

Re: Will the Manual but fit in to an auto car
You could install 5spd manual dual range box for $120 if you source one from Pick A Part yard and install in behind EA81 engine. Worth doing. But only mod is the floor shifter is, you'll have to cut some out to make it fit for the gearstick.schultzie wrote:hey finally getting enthused about doing up another subaru just wondering will my manual 4spd box fit in to where the auto use to be.. and how hard will it be to fit it, if no different ot the manual apart from the interior trim and obvesly clutch peddle... then ill be gettin a subee really soon again...

Thats something I would do with EA81 series.

yeah... but then you need to mod the clutch peddle box, and the 4spd has a better lowrange than the 5spd the and the 3.9 diff also makes it better compared to the 3.7 the 5spd, this car is not going to be a daily driver... i will have my pannel van for that...
i have 2 reasons for gettim another subee.. 1 i miss it, and secondly i didn not enjoy the company of another club i went on a cruise with... us subee guys are of a different class...

Not all 5 speeds are 3.7. My wagon runs a 3.9 5 speed.
No mod to the pedal box is necessary, you just need to source another one from a manual and swap it over (short easy job)
The hardest bit will be getting the bloody torque converter off!!!
