has any 1 put an 5 speed gearbox into an 1400 coupe? i know it has been done? just wondering what has to be done and how hard would it be to do?

It's the same as swapping in a new 4spd. Same bolts, same mounts. The '75+ 1400 hardtops were the only Subies stateside to get the 5sp and the 1400 combination.

so nothing really has to alted to fit it in? im also going to use an ea71 motor in it also. i had heard of an guy that fitted 1 in and it was an tight fit as well as he had 2 modify something?

if you have the ea71 and box donor car use everything from it like cross members and linkages and you wont have any problems, but the 5 speed from a ea71 wont bolt straight up to a ea63, different bell housing

What's different between an EA71 bellhousing and an EA63 bellhousing?

cool ive got parts from my old fwd leone i stripped down aye. my 1400 is fitted with EA71 motor its got the right addapter bell housing. but i wana go with 5spd gearbox in it

So your 1400 is a 1600 now?

yea my coupe has 1600 in it. had it since the 80s or earlyer. it was 1 of the cars that got replacement engine put in it by subaru for no cost to the orignal owner. my yellow sedan still has 1400 engine in it

The 1600 has a bigger flywheel so the bigger bell housing
