  1. agreed...i have a built ea71 from my 5spd set-up that i wish i could put in my ea81 set up but those fat bell hosings are illusive in these pats of the desert. you still get a little more bang out of an ea81 or 82 so the best thing to do is find an old wagon with a 5speed and upgrade to ea81 or 82. as for the steering clearance its all about getting the adjustment on the anti pitch bar atop the engine and drilling the motor mounts about 3/4 in forward. i notch in the bell housing for the bottom bolt 1/2 inch and ground down the stud to get extra clearance.

    when installing always adjust the pitch bar first then tighten all other engine and tranny mounts.

    ea81 may be an option, but I heard the ea82's weren't worth messin with. the hard thing about this whole thing is that I live in north Texas and can't find many old subarus around here.. slim to none actually, I just found a window today that I've been searchin for for over 10 months now.
