I just bought a NOS longblock EA71 and an EA71 shortblock. Both have since sat up, and I was wondering what I should do to get them moving again. Teardown? I am betting that the lifters are the main culprit, as they look otherwise well kept (left in a crawlspace). 

 

I also have a good bit of Subaru parts like seals, electronic ignitions, two carbs/intakes, clutch cables, etc. Some are for newer Subarus, and I will likely sell/trade most of it off. Nothing of much monetary value though.

I cataloged some of the stuff already. I have a ton of water pump gaskets (smaller, self contained one), headgaskets, keyed door locks, etc. I plan on building the short block to gain some experience before tackling the long block. I am just short one cylinder head.

I have a box of bagged bolts also, but didn't feel like going through those yet,

I have 6 good EA71 heads if you want one/more.

 

Note that the carbs are for the late EA71 cars, since they have vacuum secondaries. I'm interested in the Subaru logo ignition module, I think its for the Hitachi ignition. Also this bracket, which is for the air cleaner on the EA71 cars.

Awesome. Give me until this weekend to pull those two parts out from my pile. I've started a new job that's absolutely killing me, physically. Assembly work is not as easy as I thought it'd be.

 

Maybe I could trade them towards one of those cylinder heads. 

I would use some PB Blaster or something in the cylinders to help take care of that surface rust. The rings are probably stuck to the cylinder walls.

Throw in that Subaru badge and I'll trade straight up. You want the pair of heads?

How about the engine stand....i'd be interested in it.

Deal. I'll definitely do that

I will try that. I will also spray the lifters. The engines looked to have been stored reasonably well

I mighty be willing to sell it. It's pretty nifty. I'm not sure how much I would want for it yet though.
