Caboobaroo Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 thaaaaaats right people. I got the very good idea tonight of swapping an EA81T into my car. How hard would it be? I know I'll need the fuel lines, motor, new exhaust, ECM, wiring harness....is that it? Anything else I'd need for this swap? How hard would it be and what sort of mods would I have to do? I'm also thinking about putting a dual range 4-speed in too. Would that be hard as well? Has anyone done this sort of swap before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonOfScio Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 measure the engine first and then the engine compartment, but other than that, nothing too much in the way of $$, just time. but you know all that... idea = sweet. DUDE! I SAW AN SVX FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE TODAY! I ALMOST HAD A PERSONAL MOMENT! IT WAS CHERRY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Does this have anything to do with your "ran to eugene" away message on AIM?? Is John hooking you up with some engine stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 X-member, and I dont know what the suspension is like on a pre 80's Soob, but you might consider changing over. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonOfScio Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Caboobaboobie's '79 Wagon (we all think) has an EA81 suspension. he can explain it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 i was told an ea82 wont fit in a gen1, because the engine bay is too narrow. but that was what i was TOLD, not something i found out myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted October 9, 2003 Author Share Posted October 9, 2003 no Andrew and I had to run down to John's place in Eugene to give him some pics of our fellow Subaru member who was recently in a hunting accident (see post http://usmb.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5176) But my wagon has what looks like EA81 suspension under it. It looks exactly the same. I don't se any difference but I am going to be doing a lowering job on it (cut coils:D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
