March 12, 201214 yr i would have moved on already.. but here theres wags like yours cheap cheap, this ones kinda spendy but it felt appropriate http://anchorage.craigslist.org/cto/2823494174.html the resemblance is creepy... Edited March 12, 201214 yr by AKghandi
March 15, 201214 yr I think he yelled back at me. fell asleep last night and woke up around 1am and could barely move... I hate getting old ...
March 15, 201214 yr Author Yea, me to mick. I told you not to try and life that dam transmission by yourself.
March 15, 201214 yr I lifted my trans by myself. What is the status? Going to go with a Weber? or hitachi? or the newton junkyard ea82 parts?
March 15, 201214 yr Author The status is and lessons learned are. Never go over a month without changing your bad alternator. Never underestimate how many electrical connections exist. Never count out old technology, with the unusable carter carb. Never believe that all the fluid has drained out. Never think that if you ruined one part, a subaru guy doesnt have 50 others stashed in a box somewhere. Never say a single range transmission is ok when you have a dual range on the floor right behind you. Never suspect otherwise if you have ever taken your subaru offroad that a pile of mud isnt greating you underneath where said parts were. Never forget how old parts got you through the tough times. Thanks for the memories. Never forget that you didnt drain all the fluid out of the trans before you pulled it out of the junkyard allowing it to spill on the floor while your partner is telling you to get a bucket why you just sit there and say its ok 3 times. Never underestimate the power of a dude in the engine bay shot. Never think you shouldnt take another one.
March 16, 201214 yr Lifting the trans isnt normally a big deal but if you are leaning over the front of a lifted vehicle with the hood latch pressing into you its a little harder... Reasons for going with ea81: Only 106k miles Already had it. no timing belts No old electrical components to deal with no more worried about frying another ecu. Cheaper to maintain Easier to troubleshoot Upgraded to dual range too. 140k. Its in already. Just need to move the clutch/flywheel stuff over and yank off the intake manifold... Weber is on its way...
March 16, 201214 yr Is that the engine from the blue wagon you parted out> don't forget to add fuel pressure regulator.
March 16, 201214 yr Author You forgot custom pin for the cv shaft, and gear lube for the trans Edited March 16, 201214 yr by The Dude Abides
March 16, 201214 yr Author What would you say to just wireing that fuel pump and electric fan up to a toggle switch. If its simpler i say we do it.
March 16, 201214 yr What would you say to just wireing that fuel pump and electric fan up to a toggle switch. If its simpler i say we do it. no.
March 17, 201214 yr Author No, not yet. The motor is waiting for a manifold and carb swap. Then convert a few other parts over. It probally wont make mudcoast but i might try to show up since i cant go to my charity event now.
March 26, 201214 yr getting closer. had some other parts on hand, so as long as the engine was out... stripped down hitachi manifold and weber adapter installed new t-stat new coil new water pump different resealed oil pump (old one had stuck backplate screw that was stripping out) new NGK plugs 5 speed flywheel, clutch, pp installed need to cut the exhaust to rotate the flange yet, but pretty much ready to drop the engine in... and continue on...
March 26, 201214 yr Let me know wh+en u want to do this I've got other stuff going on the next 2 weekends. might drop it in tonight....
March 29, 201214 yr and by installed, I just mean: In the engine bay, bolted to D/R trans, engine mounts bolted in. still plenty more work ahead heater hoses plug wires starter radiator & hoses electric rad fans power steering exhaust weber alt/PS belts fuel pump vac connections coil disty/coil/choke/fan/fuel pump wiring and probably more stuff I'm forgetting....
