I guess the dog in the first video is a Subie lover as it was whining about you climbing the car. Gotta love the red Tahoe as well. Wonder what the look on their face was as you drove along the side of the Subie (probably priceless:grin: ). Definitely need an LSD in the front though. All in all WAY TOO F'N COOL :slobber: . If you really plan on playing with it at those fun angles though you might want SPFI to keep from dying at the good parts. :headbang:

Funny you mention that about the power units, I'm looking for 2 complete setups. Maybe we can work something out when the weather is good.

What year are you looking for? Power steering or arm strong steering? I have an 83 Rust Wagon I'd let you take it from if you want to pull it yourself, arm strong steering though. Jackson, Ca Amador County.

Where abouts in Cali are you located. I have an '83 Engine thats blown a HG but got good heads.

Forgot about the D/r. Thanks Gloyale.

Good luck! If memory serves me right you have to find a RX or XT6 for that and those are your ONLY choices.

Nice score!!! Cheaper than mine by $25. Hopefully with my tax return I'll be getting mine lifted and completed, then onto another soob, either my 84 Wagon or the Gen 1 Brats I'm eyeing real hard. Who's lift did you use if I might ask?

I need to move to your neck of the woods. The PnP's here in Cali want $200 for a D/r 5spd or any speed actually and that is tranny only:mad: .

These aren't mine yet, key word yet. The Green one was rolled and the other has rust issues (haven't been able to climb under yet to determine how bad), both are less engines and the tranny is missing from the Grey one, as well as the tail gate. Notice the DL Brat in the background below, he's got quite a collection of EA81s. If I pick these up (it's a package deal) I'm parting the Green one out and lifting the Grey one and putting in a D/r 4spd from my 83 and well as a built EA81 with SPFI:headbang: . Wish me luck:)

I second that!!! Funny thing,I was thinking the same thing watching that video. On a side note, anyone have info on the lowered one from the magazine article, I think it might have been Truckin' but it says Sport Compact Cars paint wars.

Man! That's a great idea and looks good. Need to get a pic of the whole side of the car also. What size tires are you running?

I know of an 84 Automatic up the road from me here in NorCal that's been sitting for a while and will need to be disposed of sometime along with a lot more EA81 Wagons.

Just make sure the D/R is from a N/A. One is 23 spline on the stubs while the other is 25, but unfortunately I've had a little to drink and cannot tell ya which is which. D/R is definitely the way to go with larger tires and while your at it doing the tranny swap you might as well do the "twin stick" swap (as I call it) making the Hi/ Low shift separately from the 4wd, so you can use the low while running around town while still in 2wd. Use the search for more info on the twin stick mod if interested.

I agree with you on the Fel-Pro/Sealed Power and OEM but i guess I wasn't clear in the beginning post. I'm looking to get everything I can in one package, not a part here a part there. If they have a package setup please let me know, so I don't have to order everything piece by piece.

Cannot believe I haven't posted in this thread yet, I have 5 Subie Wagons, 1 Brat, and 1 old Ford truck. Anyways, here's pics in order received- 83 Wagon (rusty parts car)- 98 Legacy Outback as purchased (DD)- as of recent- 86 GL (bought for parts, but drive instead )- 86 GL (bought for tranny but is rust free)- and lastly Cyberbackpacker's 84 GL (bought for engine and good body)- hopefully wont be adding any more anytime soon. (I do have my eye on a Gen 1 Brat though)

Since no one has really answered as to a complete kit (pistons and rings I'll get from the dealer), how about this http://www.rpmrons.com/Subarukits.html? Anyone use them before?

:slobber: . Nice find!!!! Definitely try to get him here on the board so we can pick his brain. Do you know if he's willing to sell the FSMs and parts and ship?

Will be interesting lengthening the roof that 6 inches or so. It might be best to find a Brat that has been smashed in the front to use for parts and graft them on to a Wagon (a LOT more work) or simply find a wagon donor for the roof panel- depends on if you have the fun top, and whether you want to keep it. Sweet idea though! Good luck and post pics.

:lol: :lol: . That's great and so true. I'm dreading the day I have to do mine. As already mentioned earlier, hope you have a way to transport it out of the house and good luck.

Since we got a little snow up country my friend and I decided to go play around for a little bit this morning. Only had to use the 4WD on the pavement to get up some of the hills at more than 2mph. Didn't get too many pics as time was short and having too much fun. Cannot wait to do it again.

I second that! Rebuilding an engine is second, especially in the house.

I know my Grandmother bought one new down in SoCal back in 88. Was really sweet and at the time always wondered what the D/r lever was. She got rid of it in the 90s before I got my license . I agree that a lifted sedan would be pretty sweet whether EA81 or 82 (would prefer 81 myself though). They are out their just not as common as the Wagons.

Damn!!! Lincoln rear with LSD front, that will DEFINITELY be one bad wheeler :headbang: . Post more pics!

That looks more like a T than an A.
