Subarian

If it's more than a couple of hours from home, I take my Craftsman kit.

The trans being shifted on the fly would not hurt the timing belt. I've owned 8 or 9 of these wagons (sold most of them) and the timing belts are pretty easy to change. As for the checking the engine, see if it will turn over fairly easily. I found one that "needed a timing belt" and it had a cracked ring. I also found another one that had a "blown motor" and I just put the timing belts on the RIGHT way and drove it off (it was actually at a mechanic's shop).

I get the LLT shoes at Autozone. With 250000 on my car, I've saved a bunch that way.

Check to make sure the clutch return spring is in place. It should be between the end of the fork rod and a tab on the bell housing.

HI! I'm new to the USMB, but I've owned about 8 or 9 Subarus over the years, and converted many of my friends to the way of the Sub. I'm still driving my first, an 86 GL wagon with EA82, 5spd d/r, and a Weber 32/36 carb. I've got a little over 250,000 on it, and I've considered swapping in a 2.2 for a long time. I was pleasantly surprized to find a message board where other people had done the swap. So here are my questions: I figure I'll need the engine w/intake, wiring harness, ecu, exh back to the y, and I plan on using my trans. 1. What else would I need? 2. Will my other accessories work (Alt, A/C, no P/S)? 3. How much would I expect it to cost? Thanks for your help.
