Ok thanks for the warning

well me and my brother and buddy pulled the motor out of the xt-6. the head gaskets were both blown and so is the exhaust gasket, also found out that the radiator needs replaced and it needs a new clutch. but other then that the motor looks great. heads are going to get resurfaced and i am thinking about sending my cams in to get a mild ground done to them.

Hey delta do you guys do a grind for the er27? If so what grind and how much thx

No. Part time 4 wheel drive with 4 lug wheels. But after discussing with my co conspirators we are keeping the XT 6

swapping in the 5 speed out of my loyale, push button 4 wheel drive. 700$ if i fix the head gasket 800$

Ruby I am going to sell the xt6 after I swap it the transmission and rear end for the five lug swap parts I need, and the put the parts I take off my Subaru on to the xt6 making it a 4 lug.

Yeah that sucks completely opposite side of the country.

Where you located at brat man?

if someone wanted to trade me a 2.2 car wrecked or something i would do that. the whole reason why i got the xt6 was because i want to do a whole swap engine trans diff and hubs so i can have a better selection of rally wheels and such. i know the er27 is a bad motor for parts and stuff. but its a starter motor for me and i usual go about things the hard way first. i get what you are saying though

yeah suby l. jackson is getting a mustache my little brothers suburban is call ron burbandy and has a mustache on the grill. and i understand it is going to be a pain. i have thought about throwing the front end of the xt6 onto my wagon but i dont care too much for the pop up head lights. one of the other things i am doing is parting out the xt6 for members on the forum because of the body parts and such. so if anyone has any requests just pm me and i will see what i can do. the xt6 has a blown headgasket apparently, but i have much looking to do. i already figured i was going to have to do fabrication and redrilling, already planned on not using the spare tire rack in the engine bay. will be posting pictures of my progress

thx for the info loyale. i could swear i have seen that gl wagon with the xt6 front clip in i junk yard before. and its not just an engine swap i am doing the entire drive train including suspension also switching the dashes.

So I have a 92 loyale aka Subie L. Jackson, who has a blown headgasket. So that sparked a thinking process of fixing it or making it better. I use to want to lift it but now i have realized that rally is becoming my next passion. So I got lucky yesterday and bought this car as the donor for this project. I am super excited to do this. Just need to find a build thread or member who has put a 2.7 in their loyale or gl wagon

i cant find any shifter linkage bushing for my loyale. i have looked online and have not come up with anything. would it even be possible to put in a newer shifter and linkage in to my loyale? been searching to see if anyone has on usmb cant find nothing

from a truck drivers point of view is that i would be concerned about the tongue weight of the trailer. especially since its only a single axle trailer your going to have a lot of weight on the tongue. Next is how badly are you rear shocks going to compress? if they compress a lot you going to have a lot of weight on the rear axle then the front which eliminates a lot of traction for turning. and you may have to drive in 4 wheel in stead of two wheel because of the lack of sufficient weight on the front end. Next is stopping, trailer brakes are great to have and if your going down a hill you have to go slow (with you 4 way flashers on, so everyone else knows you are going slower then the speed limit) and be in a lower gear preferable one low then what you were in climbing the hill. Also a lot of the guys that are talking about towing another Subaru with a Subaru don't have a lot of these things to consider because of the weight displacement of the load. Its just like that Toyota tundra commercial, the weight displacement of that shuttle is just right, so that the tundra doesn't have any weight on the bed of the pickup and its just pulling, if it had and tongue weight or bed weight like from a 5th wheel i honestly think that a lot of parts would've been broken. hope something in that rambling will help you

Ok. Thank you guys. My buddy and I are going to rebuild the motor since we have pulled it out anyways.
