saws all it is then. because my new ( to me) dl doesnt have any oil pressure and sounds like the lifters r going to come out of the hood, guess i better start reading up on ej swaps might as well do it right . thanks guys.

true,, but alot of us newbies spend alot of time here but dont want to chime in alot for fear of asking dumb questions. I will say though this is one of the cleanest boards ive been on, i could name a few that are (rough ) to use a nice word. KUDOS to u all.

thanks alot ... I read i could run 27 with 3in lift but i didnt want to deal wit tire rub and just think they look great with alot of wheel well, but cant get away with 6 inch blocks (stupid inspections). SOOOO i can swap a legacy spendle onto a DL and the ball joint and axle splines are the same? im going to cut a hole in the back wheel well and weld in the strut mount off the legacy donor. I was just worried about keeping the front geometry close, because im sure the misses will drive it on snow days. thanks for all the help, im sur by the time this builds over im gonna need it.

first off HI all, ive spent all winter working on these rail subbies and the more i learn about them the more i love em, so last night i bought a 87 D/R wagon for my daily driver, my problem is west virginia has bad inspection laws so 3 inch blocks only and that wont clear 27inch tires. so will legacy 5 lug control arms and struts work on my ea82 then i can run outback struts =3 inch blocks+2.5 outback struts = 5 go or no go? THANKS

just use a ea81 d/r and t-case and a LSD front, who needs horsepower with that kind of gear, ea81 wires up in five minutes and no sensors. with only 1100 pound buggie we havent broke anything yet (400 hard miles) and if you do parts are cheap and easy to find, KEEP IT SIMPLE and lets build!!!!!!!!
