Scott in Bellingham

Hot Rodders make frames all the time from rectangular tubing, use something like 2x3 make every joint correct and welded and braced properly , use the lift kit points as brackets not really part of the frame and you will have a substantial frame, if I was doing it I would take a spare straight car flip it over and build he frame then install it on the rusted car

Struts will fit rear top hats may have different bolt pattern

Merrry Christmas to all! Spending the evening with my family and watching Santa Clause with Tim Allen , Will have dinner with my folks tomorrow

Was probably a 3.7 LSD swapped out to be a 3.9

the rear diff may be a 3.9 with the 3.7 cover

I can build you a set of bumpers and Nerf bars, I'm building a set for my own ride Scott

I sell kits here EA82 kits fit Www.sjrlift.com

29" about max with stock Subaru struts, I've seen some ralley struts with a tight coil which gives more room for bigger tires, I can build whatever custom lift parts you need my store www.sjrlift.com. Scott , keep us updated as we like to see these things being built .

use the older EA series cable bracket on the trans , that may work

A trick I use is to hit the arm that holds the the tie rod end ,on the side where the rod shank goes threw , this will shock the rod end out

That second hole may be from the wrecking yard, I've seen that from a wrecking yard engine,

The lower steering knuckle will need lengthened or replaced with a longer one

My mistake, I knew that

What have you done to strengthen the front a-control arms?

a set of forester or Legacy outback struts (90-99) will lift it a bit,

Friday I'm up

No issues, wheeled all day afterwards, just lost some oil

With my adapter SJR the stock ea82 bracket bolts to the top tabs, or you can use a EJ bracket from a EJ transmission

good doner, auto or manual both work fine, I can trim the harness for you www.sjrlift.com
