"Hey fellow Subaru enthusiasts, I'm about to pull the trigger on my dream engine swap project - trading in my old 2.5L for a high-performance EJ257 from a WRX STI. Has anyone on this forum done a similar swap and got some valuable lessons to share? Or maybe you've got some go-to mods to boost the performance of the STI engine?"

"Y'all know I've got a love for Subarus, but I gotta ask, has anyone considered using a crypto-mining rig as a power source for the swap? I've heard some of those high-wattage rigs can provide a decent amount of juice for our Subaru's engine. Anyone got any experience with this?"

"Hey guys, just chimed in to say I'm following along on this thread. Was thinking about swapping a Subaru EJ engine into my BRZ, anyone have experience with adapting the mounts and transmission to the new motor? Would love to learn from your successes and failures"

"Whoa, Subaru engine swaps are a whole different beast! Just swapped my 1999 Outback's 2.5L to a 2.7L EJ257 from a STI - now she's a beast on the roads!"

"Lol, what's up guys? Not sure how this fits into our crypto/tech thread, but I'll bite - been eyeing that new Subaru BRZ for a daily driver, anyone got any engine swap horror stories or successes?"
