No, that's not what I'm saying. See? I was EXTREMELY clear in my communication with you, yet you still misunderstood. Oi-vey! (BTW, my sarcasm trumps your sarcasm) 
I was very clear in MY communication to you. I said YOU didn't communicate properly and took you to task for it. Just get over yourself and post properly, yeesh.
Be clear and don't make people assume.
Another thing you need to learn, there's nothing common about common sense.
Your apology is accepted.

I want to see how that engine will fit with a radiator, intercooler, trans cooler, oil cooler, and that huge transmission in a car with a tiny or no transmission tunnel. It's gonna take a bunch of tube work to make strength and crossmembers. In the end it will be a hacked up stupid looking piece with a ton of money in it and no value.

I love my truck.
I also love my Subaru (2005 STi; 385 HP and 397 TQ to the wheels).
I find engine swaps intriguing, but the thought of a 7.3 in an RS is pretty absurd. You would definitely not just be "droppin it in".
If you really want to add a 7.3 to a Subaru, at least pick a Brat or Baja and make a half way decent truck out of it. But if your main goal is a diesel Subaru and you want to pull it off realistically, import a new diesel boxer from Europe and go to town.
