wrx rear caliper on XT6?
The WRX caliper mount can be adapted to the XT6 (not a bolt on) and once it's mounted you can run the WRX brake components on the XT6 hub. IIRC the center hole is larger and the bolt pattern is different so a spacer to keep it centered and then sort out the mounting holes.

ej swap info
I'm sure it's possible, but maybe not as easy as a gen II or III. I don't have any first gen swap experience, hopefully someone who does will chime in.

issues identifying engines
capn_r replied to soobie_newbie67's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYour free engine sounds like it has a phase II bottom end. The thrust position is # 5 and they went back to the 52mm rod bearings instead of the 48 mm one's they used on the EJ25D. (I think I've got the rod journal diameters correct)

It looks like the predicted snow level is somewhere between 4000 and 5000 ft higher than Cougar Rock, I think you would be safe. http://www.atmos.washington.edu/data/rainier_report.html

You must have taken a real scenic route, that detour shouldn't add 10 minutes.

History of USMB
IIRC the intake ducting on an EJ tangles with where the fuel tank is on the pre Vanagon Volksie buses without some pretty serious surgery whereas an EA has clearance.

Got A/C working...
Check the compressor clutch for continuity.

Got A/C working...
That was around the time that they came with the 134a refrigerant and POE or PAG oil compatible desiccant which should be fine. (same era the manufacturers were transitioning to 134a) You probably won't have any issues. Research XH5, XH7, and XH9 desiccant's for information.

85 Brat Starter Grinding/Whining 5-speed swap
Put flat washers between the transaxle and starter to slightly space the starter back so the drive gear clears the flywheel gear. I don't know what to tell you on the engine wanting to die.
-
Got A/C working...
Good plan, the drier should be replaced just as a good service procedure and depending on the time frame the original was made it may not have a compatible desiccant in it. Anything made in the last 20 or so years should be fine but prior to that could be questionable.

Its buggy time agian
If your making a coupling sleeve I believe some rosette welds would help as well.
-
Got A/C working...
If you are getting vapor bubbles in your sight glass with your compressor running I'd check and see if the suction line is cold or sweating and if it is you may have a blend door partially open mixing air from the heater core.
