  1. I am glad this all ended well for you. Years ago I built the same FT 4WD 5MT center locking trans for my EJ swapped '83 Wagon. I swapped the 3.9 ring and pinion from an XT6 trans in and also 23 spline stubs so I could retain stock EA81 front axles. I wanted to go with the 1.59 low range set but never made it that far. As it is now it's an awesome car even with the only slightly lower low range.
  2. Take an air chisel or a hammer and a chisel and blast some holes in the rear of the engine for access. It's junk anyway. I've had to do this a number of times and it always works.
  3. That's Awesome! Now if only I could buy a NOS Brat to go with it LOL.
  4. Looks good! I'm not quite ready to commit yet (depends on price) but I am interested.
  5. Congrats! I just licensed my lifted '83 GL as a collector car in WA also.
  6. Already bought spare clutch and throttle cables, thanks for the heads up!
  7. Nice shop Rob! You have done well
  8. If they made a 2 door variant with the longer bed I would own one by now
  9. Bad connection at the headlight connector? Moisture inside the housing? Just a couple of thoughts.
  10. Older engines and solid lifter cams still need Zinc among other things - You are so right!
  11. I agree ^^^ but in spite of that my 3AT still lasted for 250k! It was still working when I pulled it out to swap it for a 5MT DR.
  12. Those heads look fine. Find a new set of rings and put it back together.
  13. Believe it or not Rock Auto still has one left! https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/subaru,1982,dl,1.6l+h4,1267949,ignition,distributor,7108
  14. Awesome! Another old school Subaru saved from the scrapper, at least for a little while
  15. I left the 1.19 in it. I would like to go back in and put the 1.5x in it but I don't want to tear apart a good dual range for the donor parts. I already had a junk XT6 trans and that's what gave me the idea to use the 3.9 ring and pinion. I wonder if I could fit an LSD carrier in there while I'm at it Hmm....
