I got it now and it seems to work great. It only issue is removing or replacing the motor you don't have any room to work with, you cant jack the tranny up or you'll break the axle. other than that it's good to go!! Jeff

Ok you were right they are 235's I could have sworn that they where 30's, anyways I got it running about a half a hour ago. She runs great. And with no timing belt covers whats so ever. I have a few other little things to take care of on it and it is ready. I'll get some more pics in the morning of the motor. Jeff

right on I'm gonna try the axle slide idea that sounds like it would work thanks to everyone who replied. If the axle idea doesn't work I'll just start making my way down the list and try the motor mount Idea and so on and so fourth. Jeff

I recently bought Scott's 2" lifted 86 GL wagon. I bought it with a bummed motor, no biggie I just put one together and started to drop it on tonight and the bottom bellhousing studs on the engine Start to go in but as you shove the motor back the motor mounts start to hit the motor crossmember. Most of the time once this happens I would just jack the tranny up a little and the motor slides in where it is supposed to. but in my case with the 2" lift the axles cant take the tranny going up any further or they will go snap. Should I take the motor mounts off and them put them on once the whole deal is set up in the car or is there something else that I could do to get the motor in corectly? Jeff

There is always Medford Pit too there are a few places where you can make trails and drive right through the woods with creeks and everthing. Jeff

We used to have a place on fir island we went to Called northfork right along the river on the north fork. Anyways it got shut down because all the meth heads moved down there so now no one can go down there. that was the best place in the world. now it's gone. Jeff

I recently moved into the "Getto" myself, I had a Semi-truck at my house parked in the driveway and some kids wrote Westsidekings down the side of the trailer. It took me about 2 hours to clean that off. I wish I could have found out where they found the paint at cause it was the nicest blue I've ever seen, I just kinda clashed the white and orange truck. Jeff

30X9.50X15's not 235/75/15 the 30's are about a half inch taller. Just got the timing belts on,Chris is grabbing the intake manifold and the disty needs to go in. After that she is getting dropped in and should be ready for wheeling. April 12th thats a Saturday, Walker Valley how does that sound Scott? I set up a post in the trails and events area if you are up for it or we could go up in Wills area (Concrete). Jeff

Here is where we are at now The motor is going in today, Chris and I went and got the head gaskets and couple of other gaskets to get her going this after noon!! More pics to come!!! Jeff

I'll get a better pic later today. It is sitting on that narrow area between the house and the fence can't get any good shots there.:-\ But I will get one. The whole way home it never overheated but I let it run in the driveway for about 7 min. and I thought she was going to catch on fire. I have never seen a car overheat like that before. It was Amazing:grin: but it's all good, I'm going to go to napa on monday and finish up the motor and drop 'er on in. Then we will be ready for a wheeling trip!!! Jeff

The good news is you stayed with subaru, so many times you see guys just give up on all subarus because of one bad deal with them. Always remember there are always more Subys out there. Jeff

They are redrilled toyota six lugs, with 30X9.50X15's on them. My buddy had them on his chopped hatch but the hatch is in a better place now, RIP, but I got them and they had been sitting on my 4"lifted 83 wagon and I got this wagon today from Scott and he said 30's wouldn't fit. Oh but they do! Jeff

Scott I got the 30's on your old car check it out. I figured since the motor is bad, Why not put big tires on. Before After What do you think? Jeff

Mac tools makes a special "Subaru Roll pin punch" they are 13 or 14 bucks you can get them off their trucks. Well worth the money, makes life a lot easier. Jeff

true chain the fronts, good idea stay with that. Jeff

Talk to Scott in bellingham he might have a trick or two up his sleeve. Jeff

Weld the rearend and get some mud/snow tires, that will get you going out in the slop. Jeff

I guess they wanted one newer one. Jeff

They just picked mine up She ran up on the trailer and she is now gone, really look forwad to seeing it on TV......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeff

That whole setup looks great! Jeff

I could, At least I won't break an axle. Jeff

You wanna set up another wheeling trip soon scott. I want to take the new wagon up once I pick it up and drop the new motor in I got this far today. She was really dirty wish I had a before pic. Just need one head and head Gaskets and she is ready......"Lets go Wheeling" Eah? Jeff

Chris no update pics? I got a couple today this is what it looks like now Hope you like em I don't have anything to add just these pictures:) Jeff

Sorry did mean to turn your thread into how drunk can you get and wake up the next morning with a whole new car:) Jeff

I just got real drunk and fired up the die grinder I cut right along the lines where the fender flares out in the front and in the back I trimed the edges. I would recomend not getting to drunk to do it cause you might think the next day you went a little to far. Not only that I fit 30x9.50x15's on it without a lift This was before the lift And after Jeff
