Big Country

There are a small few of us floating around down here in NM, not many but we are here. Keep in touch and we can get together sometime for junkyard runs or something.

SO.... My Aunt has an older model Chevy Truck that some parts were stolen off of (rear drive train as far as I can tell). She asked me if I wanted to have the truck to fix up since she is pretty well done with ever using it again. She also said that it had a 350 in it, in case I just wanted to use the engine. The engine would probably need to be rebuilt if I pulled it out. If I rebuild it, I would probably stroke it to a 383... But, the problem I'm having is trying to think of what I could do with it. The truck is 2wd I think, so fixing it up to Wheel would be a stretch... but I'm at a loss of ideas here guys. Can you help me out?

Welcome! You'll find a TON of info here about anything you wanted to do to your car. Try to use the search function to avoid asking a question that has been previously asked, some people are kinda picky about that... I get the feeling that "rough" is an understatement Welcome!

Garage queen? Where is this located? Thats a nice looking brat!

update?

I have an EJ... Just sitting in the yard right now... It's been around for 3months or so. I've been having trouble finding Gaskets to rebuild it. It came w/o an ECU or wiring harness, but that is almost taken care of... The car it is going into is going to get lifted at the same time. So i guess this is the parts gathering phase, If that is considered a "started" swap... then about 3 or 4 months

Bill, Yesterday I found a small stash of parted out hatches and wagons. Are you still needing hubs/drums? If so, i don't think anyone will mind if i grabbed these for ya. Let me know.

Mud Bog in a hatch:banana:

Yay!

Welcome to the board!

Welcome to the board!

I've got a buddy that lives out there, unfortunately he is a infinity guy... hopefully you can find some subie people out there, and welcome to the board

Welcome! Hopefully you enjoy this board and the Washington offroading!

Welcome! Have fun with your new Subie!

Welcome! It seems that most of the users here are from the Pacific North West, however i'm sure you could probably find someone near you too!

Welcome! There are many people here willing to help you with any questions.

Here is the group that is close-ish to you. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/group.php?groupid=2

Is there any active Subie off-roaders from New Mexico floating around here? Doesn't have to be wheelers, is anyone even close to the area? It seems that most people are in the PNW, It would be nice to know that someone is this far south.:-\

Bill, Is my order that we discussed over the Holidays still on the Fabrication list, or do i need to be watching the For Sale Section of the Forum? I also may be interested in your hub re-lugging service...

I moved from there less than a year ago, I have lots of contacts there and am kinda looking for a reason to go back for a visit. Yeah, Allen theaters lacks in the online aspect...
