hi moosens- yeah we talked about it before but I didn't here back from you so I wasn't sure if you were interested- I didn't want to be a pest. you have first dibs and then i'll offer it to 75 sube and then i'll post a general listing in the classifieds. I'll email you both with details. sure would love to clear up some space, put some batteries in my lectrick sube, and help another gen 1 a few miles down the road.

i just pulled a nice FE engine out of a '79 coupe and would let it go for a song if someone is interested. I pulled it because i am doing an electric conversion but the the engine ran great; i drove it back to maine from vermont. More than a chirp in second, more like a genuine peel-out, but i suppose that has to do with how much you are willing to abuse your clutch. it also has the weber carb which i believe is a 32-36. this engine is complete except for the flywheel because i need that to mate up with the electric motor. also have complete original exhaust, fuel tank, radiator- anything associated with internal combustion. i think the motor has 124k on it.

hello everybody- this is my first posting to this or any message board so bare with me. my current sube is a wine colored 79 fe coupe 5spd that is totally rust free and makes me happy just to look at it which is good because it is now in pieces. this sube was referenced before on the forum, the one on ebay, i ended up buying it private sale after taking a bus from maine to vermont. i drove it back that night, my apprehension melting away as the miles slipped by. first question; what is an fe? the only thing i could figure out is that the compresssion seems to be higher then other models of that year. it is well appointed with sunroof, louvered rear, etc. is it a Fuel Efficient model? now my confession. I bought this perfect running subaru to convert to full electric power. I chose this car because of its light weight, front wheel drive, lack of engine driven accesories, man tran and because i have always loved gen 1 subarus (my first was a 77 4wd wagon that my dad gave me to learn to drive on and i subsequently and regrettably beat the living snot out of on the skidder trails at our forest home) this may offend some purists who think i should keep it stock, be assured though that the decision was well thought out and keep in mind that after putting BUCKS into this car it will be more likely to be well maintained and live a long and prosperous life as quite probably the worlds only zero emission gen 1 subaru. i would love to see all the awesome extra parts i don't need find a good home -engine with weber 2 bl (32-36) carb in great running condition -minus the flywheel and possibly the throttle linkage or some other brackets and such, i'll repost the exact info after the conversion is complete -fuel tank with sender (entire fuel system) basically everything associated with internal combustion like -entire original exhaust system -radiator and fan everything is in great shape, all the bolts easily came out, almost lept out with electric vehicle anticipation. so please respond with any info regarding the FE, any interest in the parts, helpful tidbits, or what have you and thanks for reading my post. at
