Tom Hooker had one in a midget in 1990 the SOHC engine

It was a horizontally opposed engine according to the hero card .

Kid was entered for the Western Midget show tonight at Merced. Even mentioned his Subaru development engine on Flo. Unfortunately didn’t make hot laps or heat race. Have to say I was skeptical at the beginning. Best of luck with your future endeavors.

My first thought on a N/A Suby is , while U can turn the snot out of em, HP is limited on a N/A application due to crappy cylinder head flow , now you turbo them & they get pretty mean in the rally cars !!! IIRC Cosworth had some pretty stout turbo rally car Suby engines back in the day !!!

Can you even run a Suby or VW in USAC anymore? this is what i see listed on the Midget engine rules for 2019

Sir, I understand that Saturday was a disappointment for not only people excited to see the engine run but for me as well. We are currently going through the engines fuel system extensively as Fuel regulator failed giving us only 20psi! I did want to let you know that I was apart of the hot laps and that was where I encountered my fuel issues. The main problem we are running into is some set-up issues where the car is biting hard on the right rear and wanting to pull the front end up.. not sure why

Hang in there! Innovation is a good thing, can't succeed if you don't try!
