4BT Subie

[F350Cummins]

I have done the base research and am looking for any input before I do this. If I have a forester or a legacy with the longer hood, possibly some years of the outback I can fit a 4bt under the hood. I will need a VW 4 motion 5 or 6 speed manual trans and transfer case and a LOT of reengineering. Any input before I go forward in making a huge mess, spending some money and obtaining another project.... I can get the subie frame fairly easily. and I have a 4bt in my personal parts stock at home.

How do those axels hold up to higher torque?
