GLCraig Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I'll just tell you, your subaru has an EA82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danbob99 Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 well, yea, your engine is an EA-82, it'll have it engraved on the block, look towrds the front of the block, slightly left of center, it'll be there. the ea-81 tag is the older wagons is in the same place, as a matter of fact, i think thats kind of a universal place for the engine name on all the scoob y engines.

Danbob99 Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 oh, and btw, the after market for these cars is extrememly limited, if at all existant. If you come accross a jack pot of performance parts for these cars, make sure you let us know, or at least me. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiemech85 Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 behind and to the left of the dipstick is the model and serial number for the block bottom of the heads is the model and generation of the heads, gen 1= ea82 gen 2= ea82 gen 3 [ea82 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted March 13, 2004 Author Share Posted March 13, 2004 Thanks for the info now I have to figue out what to do to it first. It needs a clutch and rear axels as they were removed before I got it. And it needs rear wheel bearings. As for after market My other car is a fiero and I am used to that.

Earl Posted March 13, 2004 Author Share Posted March 13, 2004 How many miles is average for this motor? It has 220k and would like to know how far to push it before I rebuild it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiemech85 Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 do you by chance want to change that fiero to a cadero? http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/CaderoOwnersForum/ I have a 91 sev with the 4.9, that has compression in 7 cylinders,didn't know whin I bought it, because I was used to the 4.1 in my 82 eldo, was working on fixing it, but haven't done anything for several months, weather/money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted March 13, 2004 Author Share Posted March 13, 2004 A 4.9 is in the plan they are plentifull here in Dayton. I have to do some work to the Subaru first. Clutch/bearings/axels. I love my 1985 fiero GT but I also like the subaru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiemech85 Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I had to decide to either fix the seville or the subaru, and I went with the best option, the seville is too nice of a car to drive it during winter in IOWA SALT and snow, hardly any dings or rust the subaru is rusty, and suffered a slight interference with a power pole, and is fun in the snow, and cost about $100 to fix:banana: I have found many pages of good info on the cadero sites for help with the 4.9, including power and rebuild, will post links later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutweiller Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 How far are you away from Dayton, and what got you into subarus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted March 13, 2004 Author Share Posted March 13, 2004 I am in Dayton. I have owned one 84 2wd gl and then the wife got a 88 auto wagon and then gave it to her dad and just last week end her dad gave her this one. I will fix it up. Before I am done she will find something else and I will keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted March 13, 2004 Author Share Posted March 13, 2004 Will the 6 cylinder fit? has many done it? As in http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2466626767&category=33615 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIS Subaru Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Yes it will fit, but it takes some modifications to get it to in. Someone here put one of those into a car like yours, but never worked out the injection system to get it running. Others have succesfully put them into Brats.
