I think that price is fair given mileage and availability. For a future vintage project I just drove several hours mostly due to NYC traffic to pay $800 for a low mileage sedan with the early 2.2. Car had interior stripped so I really paid for the engine, harnesses, and not a lot else. I will also try to extract the 4EAT transmission for our 94 Legacy but if that doesn’t happen I still feel I got a somewhat fair deal. Guys like me have to wake up and realize there are no more $500 beaters. Also, I would never make the effort I did for any other engine. It’s the first edition 2.2 and that’s it. Simple and reliable.

Most folks avoid that four cam engine. It’s such a short run and Subaru then offered a more reliable 2.5 To me it had better be dirt cheap because you’re rolling the dice. my opinion

Truly sorry for my bad thumb moment I deleted your message and call Send me another text or call. You had the number so maybe text if you can. Thanks.

Andrew ended to passing on this one. No space for it.

Big edit. My trip was very cool and I’ve returned with my two cars. But I left the ff1 wagon there and as of right now there is no other person willing to take this car on. The car was used as a truck its last year of its running life. No back seat. It’s a bit rough along the rocker panels (sills) but is mostly all there. Could be a fun runner but might take a lot of effort for restore. Engine is there and likely would run with fresh gas and an oil change. Owner is a great guy and would like to see this and a few other cars of various makes gone and moved onto people who can appreciate them. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll get you in touch with the seller.

Ok yes I do recall those spacers. Same as Bennie, never had those loosen.

Been a while since I’ve run an EA81 so I’m not sure why they’re showing that top picture which looks like two large washers. My eyes are older and I’m on a phone. But for sure the lower picture is correct for the Y pipe (header) to the engine heads.

Current itinerary has me out in NM on Wednesday, maybe Tuesday. But for sure I’ll be renting a small box truck and pull along car hauler. Either from Albuquerque or Santa Fe. Then I’ll stay at the casino somewhere up around Espanola I think. Hoping to assist the property and load up before the weekend. Maybe as early as Thursday. I have some flex time and depending on if my son joins or not I'll probably head home Monday. Contact me if you’re local and might have a few minutes if I need help or even just to talk Subarus and see my latest projects.

Getting close. Likely be out there next week late in the week.

Over here we are lucky to have a place called the Nutty Company. I’m pretty sure you can look them up and order online too. They have most everything for nuts and bolts and more. What I did not very long ago was purchase a threaded rod. I cut pieces based on the one good stud I had left from original. And of course I got stainless nuts to go with them. I don’t recall if they had aluminum rod. I’m pretty sure mine is steel. So I’ll keep an eye on those going forward. Good luck. You can also try the west coast and dry zone dealers. They may still have them around.

Rock shows the pick up coil in stock around $27 be sure you get the 4wd not FWD

Somebody call, put up some money, and you’ll have a product you can sell at a fair percentage more without being greedy and still being kind to both parties. Or be the greedy seller and ask a fortune. Smelly wet floors in your classic car are Not cool.

You’ll need to scan eBay and maybe save the search with notifications for the Atsugi or Paraut. If you spot an older Beck Arnley pump look it over. If it says made in Japan chances are it’s fine. But also watch for more contemporary packaging with Beck and make sure the pump doesn’t say GMB. Some older ones may still exist that are Japanese but beware the ones made elsewhere.

I was just Premier again and saw the Brat and the rest. If anyone has the one you’re looking for I’d bet this guy does. I’ll ask next time but you know it won’t be for sale. Good luck. I hope I can spill some magic over to you my friend. After many decades it appears I may/will finally have the two or maybe three vintage Subarus I’ve wanted back in my life for decades. This coming month I should be making it all happen. Hope the same light shines on you !
