Yeah your right anything less than a subaru in a subaru and I may has well tear the bed out and mount a 350 back there right? Besides owning a brat has been a long time dream of mine since I was younger and I know its going to be alot of work but the turnout will be well worth it. By the what what do people think of the color Synergy Green its a color they made for the 2010 camaro im thinking of painting it that color when im all done?

Thanks for that information I was able to find a pdf of the manual and I think it will come in alot of use as I progress on this project though I still need to know where I can get a 6" lift and some body parts none of my local junkyards have anything at all

No it has the ea71 engine right now but im planning on putting the 1800cc engine in with the 5speed tranny and hi low 4wd (big plans for this little brat) Or another thought I had was putting a slant 6 out of a dodge dart into it make some modifications and find a decent t-case from a 4wd dodge anyone think that might work?

This is my first subaru project build I traded a 1966 Honda Dream for a 1980 Subaru Brat the project is a little bigger then I had originaly anticipated the rear wheel wells are completely rotted through down into the framework if anyone knows where I can get some new reproduction body panels I will be needing plenty of them or if somone knows where I can find decent used parts I would be okay with that as well The project runs and I have a chiltons guide for it the 4th cylander is only running at 90 pounds the rest are all running at 150 I will be pulling the valve covers off and adjusting and making sure they are fine to get it running with the rest of them otherwise a whole engine rebuild will be done I do have one question if anyone could answer it I rebuilt the carburator about 2 days after I got the vehicle which helped alot however when I turn the key to the on position it dosent prime the fuel into the float bowl to start the car insted I have to hook a jumper line directly to the battery to prime the carb to start the car are these vehicles not ones that do self prime when the ignition is turned on or do I just need a stronger fuel pump to put more fuel through while starting? I will post pictures as I get them. Also if anyone knows where I can get a 4" or 6" lift let me know the Brat already has 16" rims and its going to get 31x10.5x16 wongleflute cepek crushers.
