1chewey1 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hello all. New to this board and its great. I live in Longmont Colorado, almost 30 ,married ,and one child. I ve had a 98 Outback wagon for five years and it been a great car. Just got an 85 Turbo AWD wagon for $15 yes fifteen dolars. Motor was toast so I got one from junkyard for $300 and dropped it in. (My first engine Swap) Wow that was easy. I only had to get on the ground once for the crossmember bolts, everything else came off from the top. Got it idling good now and took her out for its first run. Super cool night rider dash lights up good. Wife and I are considering selling the 98 and keeping the 85. I still got the old motor if any needs parts,Mpfi ea82 turbo.Any other people close by Pm me. Thanks,Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
