Hello out there. I own a 1986 subaru gl wagon with the 5 speed dual range transmission. I am currently looking into doing a motor swap and the donor car is an 1985 rx turbo with a 5 speed and dual range tranny as well. My question, or questions rather are 1. How similar or different are these motors from each other? 2. Will the rx motor bolt up to my 5 speed? 3. If not, are the gear ratios the same in both trannys so that I can swap both the tranny and motor? 4. How much electrical work will be involved? Any other advice or knowledge will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for the info ????

Thank you!
