Thanks all for the info. I'm not finding anything prior to 1980 which to me is strange since as a Volvo user I can go to the dealer all the way back to the Ford looking B18. I guess I'll take a pass and own up that my childhood is over. Have a Happy New Year one and all. It sold for $124 less than I paid for my '72 brand new with all available options (none).

Hello all. I bought my first Subaru in late 1971, it was a 1972 and my friend had taken a master dealership for New England. I just came across the '75 on eBay and have communicated with the seller. Sounds like it needs a new engine. It has overheated and to stop overheating, had to add an overflow bottle. My experience with the '72 was when that happend the heads were shot. My question is as follows: I've searched the net and called locally and in Canada it appears either the distributor only goes back to 1980 or they started importing them in that year here. How difficult would it be to locate either a new or rebuilt engine? If push came to shove, can a 1600 or 1800cc engine fit without cutting or major mod. I'd prefer to keep it original. Thanks and nice to see interest in these early Subs. Mine was the most reliable car I ever owned.
