Well not really bad just "ut oh"

 

Good news. I got accepted into the fire department down in st george utah (about 2 hours east of vegas ) bad news My ea82t has a blown head gasket and I don't have the $$ to build it. I don't have unlimited funds but I'd really like to get an EJ22 in there. I have to be THERE by the end of august so I need to at least have the car swapped and running sometime around mid august which gives me a little more then a month. I need to get some money (payday is friday!) and find a donor car. If anyone has one or knows of one for CHEAP let me know. I'd prefer it to be mechanically sound so "decent" milage and no motor/trans problems. I'd also REALLY like a 5 speed.

 

Anyone around the Olympia area that can help me do some wrenching would also be great. How hard is it to swap in the EJ22's AC system ? its gonna be bloody hot down there.

also here is the "sale" for most of my ea82/td04 stuff. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=77194

Where are you now would help to narrow down where donor cars can come from and the amout you can spend on it.

 

If you scroll down to post number 7 by 86Bratman he list several in the salt lake area.http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=77128

 

If you happen to know where Murray is that's where I am at.

I'm in the Olympia wa area. I need the car running up here before I move down there though

Bellingham is better than Utah

ha by far man for sure. I just got accepted into the fire department down there mainly because my grandpa works for it

Damn... There aren't really any cheap ones in your area on craigslist...

Read this one, you don't want it, but this guy has read too many datsun boards.

i'll take a shot of my EJ/AC solution for you tomorrow.

I removed the center radiator support and hood latch/receiver and went to hood pins.

I have two EA82 electric fans on the front side of the A/C condenser, wired to push instead of pull.

They fit because I chopped the lines off of the A/C condenser flush with its surface. I will have them brazed shut in front and I will graft them back onto the sides, and I've rerouted the thinner aluminum lines to meet where those lines will be grafted.

The fans are mounted with some bolts and spacers, with nuts to be welded captive next time i can get the car to Brian's and take out the radiator. I need to weld a little bit of metal around their perimeters to shroud the airflow a little better. But they both fit in front and look awesome with the black blade variety of fans

I will have to have a hybrid set of EA/EJ lines made for underhood. Probably next year at this rate.
