442 anyone? http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/hrdp_1103_grabber_oldsmobile_442/viewall.html

Haha, +1 I am so tired of hearing about the end of days. The only way "Human kind" will end, is if we keep going the way we are going with all the finances, perhaps we might face another economic meltdown, and won't recover like we have. Things will change drastically. Personally I don't care for politics, as long as I have money in my pocket, and can do what I want to do, I'm alright. If times get tough, I will adapt, but never change. I also welded on the rocker today!

Ooo, I really need to get some pictures of a '71 LeMans in here... The Wheel man is back...!

I have started on the drive side rockers today, I cut off the old, I sectioned the new rocker, like I did before, I test fit the new rocker in place, and it'll fit like a glove. Then tomorrow, comes time to weld it in place, and start the repeat process over again, Spot weld, Pull into place, spot it, pull, spot it. Then lay down a solid bead! After I get done with all the welding, I will then buy some quality body filler, and remove the doors one last time, to finish off the seam. I am wondering how I am going to paint the rockers and door jams without removing the Doors again. Paint won't come till next year in my optimistic mind. This car isn't going to make the June 10th Don Miller show, but I will be damn if I don't get it to the Subaru City show on the 26th. There isn't gonna be a next year, since the world is coming to an end December 22nd HAHA!

Sure rains a lot in Vermont. :-p

They are little troopers and durable, because it is a Mitsubishi motor. Dodge couldn't make a decent late-90s motor/trans if they tried (Although the 360 is good)

Who brought the Mirage Cyborg? Sorry, but thats not on the same level as the GL

Now now, it is not Pink. It is supposed to be Cherry Blossom Red, so I found a Cranberry paint which is a close match (Not perfect) but works Haha. Cheers!

Got some of the EA81 back together.

I have a Press-release photo of a '91 Loyale hanging on my wall. Got it on ebay for like $10.

I was thinking that kink might be to mush, don't think it'll round out with some system pressure? My EJ22 had a good kink in it (Since I replaced that hose as well) and it seemed to do fine. I will see if the parts store has a pre-molded elbow, I don't want to wait 3 weeks from the dealer. If I do mess with that intake bolt more, I will go the Heli-coil route, I hate retapping holes (never want to tap the same hole twice, if you catch my drift) Why can't you just work with me, EA81! I must break your spirt and own you.

Stay strong little Subaru. It may be slow, it may be a 3AT, it may only make 65whp, but it'll get ya where you wanna go.

I was thinking of chasing the threads with a tap, maybe to clean up and recut what is there. Does it ever end...?

I'll keep the EA82 EGR on it, I guess there really is no point on ditching it. So here is what I have so far, I am in the mindset of doing a Weber swap. So I removed the Hitachi and most of the unneeded stuff from the intake, and then I installed the into onto the Block, and torqued the bolts to 13ft.lbs like is stated in the Haynes. I have one bolt that gets snug, but I can no torque it, just turns. I wonder if this will become an issue? I still have the other 5 bolts torqued to spec (Pray for no leaks!) Non-AC alt Bracket. What should I do with this PCV junction? Here is what I removed so far: So both of these are part of the Anti-Afterburn system? Here is the Hitachi, probably right where it needs to be (On the garbage can) Now, are all these relays for the A/C? And I can remove them as well?

I hear that, I usually try to pass people while I'm on the throttle trying to get up to speed, cause if I have to slow down to 45mph and am under 3000rpm, good luck trying to get back up to 65mph on an up-grade. Now if I'm barrel assing down the freeway at 65-75mph at 4300rpm, nothing can stop me, she'll hold speed even on a up-grade. "Once she's movin', just stay clear outta her way"

I have made my final decision, and am going to buy the Conversion kit when I have the money. I guess this will be the next priority, other then getting the rear disc brakes and spare Fuel pump to me.

So do these have Subaru built drivetrains/motors, or is it still Daihatsu, with a Subaru logo on it?

I wonder how the numbers change from 3AT to 5MT (FWD or PT-4WD) My SPFI EA82 3AT, feels like 65whp haha. But the power and torque does come in above 3000rpm.

Alright, if I buy this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/WEBER-32-36-DGEV-CARBURETOR-ELECTRIC-CHOKE-CARB-NEW-GENUINE-WEBER-32-36DGEV-/120890615483?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c25a466bb&vxp=mtr#ht_2577wt_1202 What else do I need for the swap and where can I get the parts? I need the proper manifold adaptor/gasket, Throttle linkage? And Air cleaner? Is that it, what am I forgetting? Or would it just be more cost and time effective to buy this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/330700425369?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_3551wt_958 Sorry for the questions, I'm new to this stuff and just want to make sure I do this right the first time, no dicking around

I will back this up, the Head torque for the ER27 was incorrect by a few pounds IIRC. HGs are the only things I follow torque specs on, everything else I just go by feel.

Dunno, it didn't have any charge when I undid the Aluminum lines. But I bet everything works, which is why I'm giving all the components to TomR. Perhaps I will do a Weber swap, probably more straight forward. Ok, who wants to buy a Subaru Brat R/C, comes with everything for $120 shipped?

Alright, so I removed that piece now (White) I didn't think about the A/C, good call. Turns out it was stuck anyway, I had to break it loose, so now it would work if I needed it. Also, I figured out what this hose is for (Yellow) When I apply negative pressure, the diaphragm moves and works a linkage, I think this is for the Choke. As for the other hose (Blue) I don't know what its purpose is, I applied Negitive and positive pressure to it, and got nothing (Unless my mouth can not provide enough suction) Now, as for these. These have continuous vacuum to them while the motor is running, so I could designate one for the Vac advance on the disty, and then the other one for the Hvac controls? Also, this other hose (Blue) I think this goes to one of the emission canister lines, can I just cap this one off from the carb? I think this yellow hose ran to that A/C Idle up on the intake? So this must be a switching unit for that, correct?

Thank you Shaun! Anyone know WTF this is? And can I delete it from the equation? I don't have the Anti-Afterburn Valve on this anymore, and I want to delete all the emissions stuff on this motor and only use what I need to, to make it run properly. Also, what does this run to? I have forgotten, and did not take a good picture before hand. Can I delete the EGR all together without any cons in running? I have some pictures of vac lines, and want to know what I can remove, since I don't have $300 to blow on a Weber right now. I think this is for the HVAC controls, there are two hoses. One goes into the fire wall, and the other comes out of some relay looking deal. Here are two TVVs, what am I to do with these? Also, what is this on the Carb? And the two that run out the front of the Carb. TomR said I could use one of these to run the Vac advance, and the other could run to a TVV to control the EGR (Which I may or may not use depending if I can remove it) Front shot of entire intake/carb assy. I really don't want to hook everything back up the way it is supposed to be, as I would need to replace every line to ensure no vac leaks (Most of the lines are hard) Perhaps I should just wait and buy a Weber, instead of cleaning up the Hitachi? I am at a loss.

Here are some pics of the finished passenger side floor. Products I use. And one of the best things I've bought. Auto Darkening helmet, there is no other way to weld in my mind.

The Hitachi DCP306-21 has Electric Choke, so the Power is already there. The Weber DGEV is the Electric Choke carb, the Weber DGAV is the Water choke. There is one cat on this car, but there is no O2 sensor. I am going to make a full custom exhuast since its all rotted and patch worked. Custom UEL header, Custom Midpipe with resonator, and either straight pipe it out the rump roast or run a Turbo muffler.
