I feel like I'm the only classical subaru owner over here, I can't find any parts in this state and i really need some, especially an engine. maybe I should do the ej22 swap because thats all i can find, anyways if there is anybody close to oklahoma let me know.

 

thanks

Did you ever check on the Brat motor at Hog Creek salvage in Sallisaw? Just curious what he's asking for it.

No, I didn't even know there was one there. do you have any ea81's?

 

SJ

Yes, I have an '87 Brat. I replied to one of your other posts with the info about the Brat at Hog Creek Salvage.

ohh, what year brat is it? ea81?

 

SJ

Didn't ask about the year. Looked like my EA81. Hog Creeks phone number is 918 775-4292.

Ok, I'll give them a call, I just need the engine so if they just will sell the whole thing and not part it out maybe me and you could go in it together and you could take the brat and me just take the engine?

 

SJ

I'll help if I can afford to, but I'm pretty sure they would rather sell parts than the whole car. You may not even want to pay their price for the motor. Check it out. Let me know.

Double post. Please excuse

I'll call sometime this week.

 

SJ

I called and they want $300 for the engine, but they couldn't get it started so I guess I'm back to square 1.

Was afrid of that. Rumor is that the only Brat in town just changed hands for $7,000.00. Everyone thinks their junk is priceless. Sorry

It's ok, I guess Ill save up and get one shipped in. I still need to figure out what all I need.

$300 is a good deal for an engine - why don't you go check it out. Run a compression test, pull the oil pan and inspect. That's a good deal - don't pass it up just cause some idiot with a jump pack can't start it - might be out of gas

There is a Brat for $4k right now. Interesting yellow thing. I personally am looking into an automatic with a spare motor in December when I get back. One in the vehicle isnt running and the spare is untested but he thinks it is working. Planning on overhauling both of them, so I might have one available after a spell.

 

Plenty around, just need to know where to look. I have a tip on a pair of gen 2, running, for $2k. One's frame is bent to the point of not being driveable, but it runs. Also have a pair of gen 1s, 1 running, 1 parts, but it is obo at the moment. Pair of gen 1s keeps popping up around Antlers but the owner is a bit dodgy on questions.

 

I recommend posting on craigslist that you are looking for one.. that is how I found the one I own now, and I had a good 4 or 5 other people offer theirs. Happy hunting.
