hello all - thanks a lot for your answers. i have a 79 hardtop, but this is no longer the original engine - a previous owner put in an engine from a pickup (BRAT?). it appears the crankshaft is making quite a bit of noise, and i am afraid the engine is going to die. i know they say a subaru never really dies, but still. having a modern EJ, with fuel injection, would make me happier. but apparently this is a lot of work - so perhaps i'll just either sell it, or hope it behaves like a subaru, and never dies...

i have a 79 hardtop, with an EA71. the crankshaft is, well... cranking a lot. can i swap the engine for a more modern and reliable one? i have a 5 gear manual. i am not looking to make it a race car. i just want it to drive nicely, and not to worry the engine is gonna die on me.
