got my donor car today!guy drove it to my house.nice little Legacy.almost a shame im gonna pilage it...almost!cant wait to get started!just need to deside on an adapter plate and dig in!

thanks alot guys!picking up my donor car tonight.91 or 92 legacy so its obd 1.whitch adapter do you all think is the better choice?

where can i get the adapter for the ej swap and how much are they?also when i went to the link on the ej write up mroseusa.com it came up as snomobile covers.any help please?

thanks for the info!i was worried that it might be worse but thats why i ask the experts!i did plan on changing the oil because it smells burnt.and thoughts on Lucas oil stabilzer?already have genuine subaru head gaskets from the local subbie dealer.cost more but i heard they work the best.this site rocks!thanx again!!!

so i took off my GF's head on her 2.2 97 Legacy to do head gaskets and noticed that one of the cylinders has scoring but not so bad you can catch it with your finger nail.the motor got pretty hot on that side,hot enough to melt the timing belt cover.do you think i should hone it or something?the head is warped after checking it with a straight edge and feeler gage.just need to get this car going as cheap as posable but want it to be reliable too.thanx!

ya i already put a new fuel filter in it.i was thinking about a weber so thanks for the sugestion!already found a donor Legacy for my ej swap.a 91 with 180,xxx for 400.over drive went out so im excited to get that.just need to sell my lifed Jeep cherokee.

just picked up a super clean 86 gl wagon.was over heating but a radiator fixed that.the problem now it it seems like it has some sort of fuel issue.just cruising around it stumbles alot.if i get on it hard it has great power.so im not sure if its fuel or a spark problem.it has a new tune up but the guy that had it used cheap stuff.had ac delco plugs and i replaced them with NGK.the carb is a new rebuilt one.all the vacume lines are hooked up.i plan to do an ej swap soon but would like to drive this around till i have all the parts.any help would be awesome.thanx!

I have an 86 gl wagon that only has 155,xxx miles and runs strong.planning on swapping in an ej because I'm lifting it and want to run bigger tires.tried it before in my 94 loyale and the ea couldn't cut it.I haven't done this kind of swap but I like the challenge. And the reward will be worth it!

Bought a cream puff of a subaru!86 gl wagon in perfect shape!big plans for this one.ej 22 swap and lift.

Thanks crawlerdan.looking forward to making my subaru all it can be.lot of great info here!

Sounds cool! I plan on putting a lift on my Subbie.I had a homemade lift on it already but the back was to high and put to much preasure on the axles.need to build a drop bracket.

When I first bought the Loyale it leaked so much oil and power stearing fluid I ended up replacing the rack.them came the motor and swaped a hi lo trans in too.as of lately I just did the timing belts,fixed a leaky cam seal and water pump

Since I've owned it I've changed the motor and trans to a hi lo transfer case and resently did the timing belts and water pump
