These EA81 engines were actually pretty bulletproof, as were most Subaru engines up until about 1996 (EA82T excepted). They're a popular aircraft engine for a reason!
Failures on these are more likely to be due to poor maintenance or the marginally-sized radiator core for US driving habits instead of questionable design like the later EJ engines.
So if I stab a couple of baby seats in the back with some maybe not real babies attached, that would fly, legally speaking?
Guess its no different than a Ford Bronco really.
