Are there baffled tanks that would be a direct bolt in for an 82 wagon that are readily available?
They would only come from an 83-84 EA81T-powered car, which aren't that plentiful anyway. You might be able to find a replacement tank, but as stated above, a simple surge tank or fuel cell would be simpler to track down.

You can order direct from SuperPro USA, they often have the older Subaru bushings in stock. Or ebay has a good selection as well.

Yeah, it does come up in google searches, but it's not actually in stock anywhere.

You're looking for parts 11 and 12 in that diagram. I've used both replacement polyurethane bushings and flowable urethane to fill the voids of bushings. One cost more, one is way more messy. It's a toss up, but put a gun to my head and I'd go with the aftermarket poly bushings in these locations.
Polyurethane isn't a good material choice for bushings that rotate, such as control arms or anti-roll bar mounting bushings, but for static bushings that simply mount the differential, these are perfect.

Adjustable strut rods are available online if you search. Fairly inexpensive too. I bough a set for my Brat 3 or 4 years ago.
Where?! I've been looking desperately...

I'm not aware of any chips available for any Subaru prior to the Legacy. The EU-delivered EA82s supposedly had a different ECU, but I think the horsepower difference has more to do with those cars not having catalytic converters compared to N.A.-delivered vehicles.

Those uninsulated wire connections give me heartburn...

Depends on the injection system in the EA82. Carb'd tank will not have baffles.
Not a direct replacement, but if you're lifting the wagon, you have a lot more real estate to make it work.

I first saw this when you shared over on the BBS. Really cool van! Do you daily this?

i think the adjustable struts were for the ea81 the ea82 i think are the same units the rear though they had to make the strut shorter and use a higher mounting point on the knuckle to clear the cv joint
EA81s have torsion bar rear suspension while EA82s have coil springs, so no, the rear struts won't interchange. I think that's what you were trying to say, at least...

The shimmering in your oil is more likely bronze, copper, lead, tin, aluminum, etc. from your crankshaft bearings. They might have a steel backing, but the wear surface is is non-ferrous metal, so a magnet on your engine oil drain pan/plug really isn't doing you any good, unless you're planning to grenade the engine and want to catch all the party favors.
Again, transmissions use mostly steel parts, which is why most OEM transmission drain plugs already have a magnet in them, and almost zero engines have magnets in their drain plugs. Add one if you want, but your money would be better spent on a quick oil change after 20 miles of driving.

Any rust-free wagon liftgates? Got pics of the stash?

If it is indeed a DL it will have the quad-headlamp setup versus the single large glass headlamps. If there is a DL, I would like the grey plastic cubby under the stereo.

I’m also going to attach a rare-earth-magnet on the oil drain plug for the hell of it, make it easier to spot any metal filings (ferrous metal at least).
Based on the experience of KillerB Motorsports (or was it Turn in Concepts?), I would highly advise against this. They outlined (non-scientific) test they ran where having a magnet on the ENGINE drain plug was not helpful and actually detrimental, but failed to get too detailed when pressed. You can find the thread on NASIOC. TRANSMISSION oil pans and magnets are a different story, since they have steel particles suspended in the fluid vs. an engine which will only have steel particulates after a something has gone terribly wrong.
Just a suggestion, feel free to ignore.

Unless the ER27 has larger bolts than the EA82, you'll find that converting to studs will be pretty expensive, since they're an odd M11 size.
-
Are they all wagons? Mileage on the chassis? Any DL models among them?
-
I'd love to know a bit more about the parts you have. I'm not looking to swoop in for the whole shebang, but it sounds like you have parts I would like.
What years are the four vehicles? Any of them turbocharged? What color are the interiors? Are any of the wheels alloys?
-
Yes, please let up know what years they are as well.

i would be buying other lamps for them is there the harness for them too
I shot you a PM so we don't clutter up this thread anymore.

yes i am looking
is it the full assembly?
Yes, minus the actual lamps. There is some damage, but could be easily repaired, the car had a minor front end impact that landed it in the junkyard.

I'm pretty sure they are M11.

To be honest, I think Ingalls Engineering is defunct and has been for several years now. Or they got bought out...
