    Possibly the oldest Subaru in Sweden is sitting in a dealership , a 1976 metal flake brown 2 door sedan. That was mine. Sent to Sweden with only 36,000 miles on it. I think the family name is Phillips. Two of the three sons involved were rally racers in the European series. Just a little story for you. Enjoy !

    Can you give us an idea of what you’re looking to do? The general purpose of what you’d like to put together- track? Road ? Off road ? Weekend rally? Scare the neighbors ? ( my favorite ) And what body as your base? Enjoy !!

    Agree and disagree a little , but in general proper advice , thanks. Scott - my 78 Subaru wagon survived up here in CT by the salt water - Zeibart , done correctly. Pete - same as above. Not much hope , but there is some. Just learn to enjoy using it like the tool that it is. Romp in the snow. Howl at the moon. Maybe stuff happens and you get another one from out west.

    If it was that cheap I’d just run it and see how it goes. Nothing there too hard to replace. I’d guess the initial builder did it correctly. Looks like a great effort with decent cash , not overboard. My thought is that engine is a 90-94 that got built. Enjoy it and show pics of the major roost !!!

    No sweat.

    Yeah man , the good old names are now the sketchy. I’m curious what people are going to reply here in 2018. This subject comes up often and the scene has been changing.

    That tranny will give you 200k. No B/S.

    Hand pump Sprayer unless you have air equipment , protect the driveway , you’ll likely find videos online or at least more mention in forums. I always heard that a light machine oil is best over the used motor oil. But do research. Have to repair your wheel aprons all the way up top at the horizontal seam. All crud builds up there and created the pinholes that carry that water down to your wheel arches and the rear door area , and sills. To get real about it you want the rear wheels off and maybe even have to drop the suspension to be able to get in there well enough. But that kind of effort pays off. Neglecting that is saying you’re not willing to go the full measure to protect your little beauty.

    Geez , I just sold one not long ago. Well before the winter anyways. I might have more used , but not likely another new one. Looks like another snow coming - this ain’t Texas - but after that looking like I’ll be able to go through storage.

    There’s also a cover channel that goes over the rim of the pass through hole so you don’t rip stuff or scrape your hands. Anyways , you’ll see if you ever get the opportunity. I’ve done this swap on ea81,EA82, and now have done it with our 92 Legacy Sedan.
  11. moosens
    Yeah , snag a GL-10 rear seats if possible. You can fit 8’ lengths and even a ladder that way. Yeah I know you’re not going to do any of that , but just stating some fact.

    Would not hurt the cause if you followed his direction. Is the car Front Wheel Drive?

    Sorry Mike , I just realized you’re not a kid. Pardon that remark. Cheers!

    Oh gosh , no 80’s stuff for me. Not interested in trades. There’s another older member here , I’m not sure is active here these days that managed to get a few new engines and transmissions from the Subaru folks in south NJ. He’s a cop , great guy , many of us have met and spent time with. That said , this is a 100% new block with rebuilt heads. There’s around 1100 miles on this engine. You can email me at moosens at yahoo to discuss further. I understand if you’re young etc. but I’m older and know what I have and would rather tuck it away than let it go cheap.

    Hey just saying , they do things in Brooklyn and other places , that’s all. It was a common practice that I’m sure is getting more difficult. The same risks were at place back then too. But that didn’t stop people. I have nothing to worry about. Saved someone I know lots of money though. Sorry to suggest criminal activity , just checking to see if folks still hear about it.
  16. moosens
    Yeah , they seem to be related to the 80’s , mostly early 80’s. Funny to see these young folks digging out little treasures we’ve passed along years ago. Outside chance I might still have one around too. The outer material (Naugahyde ?) tends to get sticky if not kept in a healthy manner.

    Can people still take late model cars to shops that can set the mileage back ? Or are the modern vehicles retaining “too much information” and therefore making it impossible to reset miles traveled ?
  18. moosens
    Old guy advice says just run it under 4K rpm , and if no tachometer then just keep it under 85 for sure. Running constant as you will be you’ll be fine as mentioned previously 70-75mph that whole run and you’re treating it very fairly. Don’t forget good tires are the real limit with old Subarus.
  19. moosens
    There’s two versions of the EA71. External water passage came first , naturally. Second version with internal water is typically called the “wide case”. Not sure how hot you’ll be over this but I do have an extremely low mile first edition. I’ll be crying when I let it go , which is why it’s not cheap. Send a message thru the board if interested. It’s in CT.

    Three guys ? You’re lucky. Two was all we had but the engines were lighter 1400 , 1600’s mostly. We did 1800’s that way too. Another wacky method is if you have some lengthy lumber. Lay your 2 x 6 or whatever over the roof with moving blanket(s) underneath. Hood off , chain it up and lift it out. One man - done it. Ok , let’s hear some more. Knucklebusters we iz.

    We started with “Cocaine” and ended with “croak”. Not surprising. Also not surprising how someone had chimed in for the Weber cause. Croak - have to been over to the face dook pages related such as Classic 4x140 ? Gerard there has loads of manuals online as you show - dead link. I’m thinking ask him and he’ll probably have that manual handy and help you out.
  22. moosens
    Nasty habit you’ve got there , but most acceptable in these parts. Very nice to see. Thanks.
  23. moosens
    Different. Not much is going to help you for interior or exterior. Maybe engine and tranny depending on what you have. An 81 DL-5 is a 1600. What engines are in each ? That’s is for USA models.
  24. moosens
    You can do that but there are plenty of Factory parts manuals out there. Those same microfiche show up in old dealer stock. Gerard in Australia probably has them online already. Check before you devote the effort is all I’m saying.
  25. moosens
    I was smart enough to save all those seals part numbers used when it was done , but they just aren’t handy. Sorry. Parts manual online ? Mine aren’t handy now either.
