here it is:

 

Hello Mr. Neal:

 

Thank you for your reply. We understand your frustration. However,

you did

not state in your original message that you had reviewed the Service

Manuals

for your 1976 Subaru. Therefore, we thought that we were directed you

properly. We do apologize for this.

 

I discussed your message with our Technical Services Department.

There is

only one representative that was working for Subaru of America in

1976. He

stated that we did not offer an EA-65 engine in any of the 1976

models. In

fact, he was not aware that we ever offered an EA-65 engine. He

stated that

we offered a 1400 cc manual transmission engine and a 1600 cc

automatic

transmission engine, which information would only be in the Engine

Manual

only.

 

As for the VIN you provided, it is not recognized as a US vehicle.

Is it

possible that this vehicle was sold in another country. As we are the

distributor for the US only, we are not aware of the specifications of

vehicles sold in other countries.

 

If the VIN you supplied is not the correct VIN, please contact us

again with

the correct VIN, as that might help us discover more information

about your

vehicle.

 

We are sorry that we cannot be of more assistance.

 

Best wishes,

 

John J. Mergen

Subaru of America

Thanks Mick for the info so that means I can't even get parts for the motor either then? man this sucks big time and I got another reply back from the guy and he gave me the snailmail addy for FHI so I can trace the roots of this beast.

 

 

so now all I need is to hope for a smallest cc motor class at wcss......

 

but still wierder yet why is a EA-63 a 1400 and the 65 a 1300 then?

i'll try to remember to dig through my gen1 brochures (non-US)... I have lots

k thanks again for the help Mick so now you will have a pic of a non-us 76 4wd when you get home and have time to get the pics from me and I still need to dig out my FE coupe pics also

Could it have possibly come from Canada??? Check your emissions label under the hood, see what it says. Might want to send them a picture of the ID tag on the motor...

wooohooo got an update found some information here http://www.bgautomotive.co.uk/ in PDF form and found out it is in leones from 1979-84

here is the pdf http://www.bgautomotive.co.uk/2Subaru.pdf it's on the first page 3rd row from the bottom.

 

I have also E-mailed these guys to see if they have any information so fingers crossed you guys

 

*edit* ok just found a russian site that said this "

This is the EA65 (tank capacity - 1.3 l, 70*hp, weight is about 55 kg(122 lb)). Its production stopped in 1981. Now it is rare."

70 HP!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY FREAKIN COW!!!!!!!!! I wonder what the torque rating is on this thing? here is the site url http://www.aviajournal.interami.com/sections/journal/arh/magazine/20012eng/st3.shtml

 

*re-edit* found another page that has the hp at 65 hp still good enough for me
